The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

Yep, for me it looks like we want to be selective with our learnings from recent history, we've completely discounted the farce that is the EU Energy grid and we are barrelling head long into crazy high energy prices.

The last time I was in the EU, I had a trip covering towns in France, Belgium, Germany and Austria. There were places where you could stand in one town and stare across a valley at another town paying 1800% more for it's energy.

I think when the subsidies go, the real subsidies not the ones called a subsidy, things are really going to hit the fan.

Climate change is real, but there is no need to cut your own legs off to make things better!

China pulled the subsidies on EV's and now they have paddocks of dumped worthless EV's as the public, taxi companies etc dumped cars that were only viable with Government assistance.
You could argue that some EU countries have a developed Nuclear system/grid but it hasnt led to utopia on the energy front and that the frameworks of the economy in those countries have more affect on prices than the cost of power generation.
Bit like a football team.....no use the forward line kicking goals if you are leaking more in the backline.....
