Huh, looks like the #german #economic #minister is pushing to keep #nuclear #powerplants #active during the #energy #crisis https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/german.. I called this out in #february , perhaps earlier: https://coffeespace.org.uk/blogs/russian.. #germany needs to be acting really fast right now, or they have an ultra serious #problem .
#ec #president #ursulavonderleyen is #proposing a #bidding #system for #energy #contracts https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. A few *major* #problems include #green #energy receiving heavy #subsidization , low-cost also means low #future #investment , what happens if #fossil #fuels become #cheaper than #green #energy , what about the #cost of switching #supplies ? *Insanity.*
Nice #youtube #video from #veritasium on #jumping #robots , and #storing #potential #energy in #spring #structures https://youtube.com/watch?v=daaDuC1kbds
Apparently the #uk #government are now being #warned that rising #energy #bills will lead to " #civil #unrest ": https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-g.. This is at a time where the #uk has no real #leadership and the #race for #pm keeps getting pushed back, because #gchq is "worried" about #russian #influence .
Ouch, apparently #china 's #drought and therefore #water #crisis is reaching new levels of bad: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. This will affect #food , #manufacturing , #energy and pretty much everything else.
I thought this may be the case, apparently #british #pubs will #struggle to #remain #open due to #increasing #energy #costs https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/doomsd.. #pubs are surprisingly #energy #intensive ... And to be completely honest, they are likely not even the worse #industry either.
Looks like #nz relying almost entirely on #renewable #energy is now looking at #blackouts on #friday as their #capacity is pushed to the #limit https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0811.s.. As #aardvark suggests, this is is *without* widespread #ev #adoption .
Oh wow, #germnay are already taking drastic action to #reduce #energy usage as #nordstream #naturalgas is running massively under #capacity , thanks to #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ge.. Of course, #germany is *still* using #russian #energy , despite telling everybody else not to. If only they had listened to #trump when he #warned them years ago.
Bloody hell, #london #energy was costing 5000% more last week during the #heatwave https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/lo.. I'm sure the #energy #suppliers will pass on those #costs soon - looking forward to the next #bill !
#germany apparently looking at another #mask #mandate for #covid https://www.zerohedge.com/political/germ.. Insanity. As if they haven't got bigger problems right now, like #energy #security https://climatechangedispatch.com/german.. Hopefully they #reconsider #nuclear #power like I suggest months ago.
I quite like the #uk 's #foreignsecretary #liztruss ' #energy on #russia and #china , by claiming we should send #weapons to #taiwan in light of what has happened with #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/w.. She is really on point with this. I bet #china 's #ccp has already #commented and got all butt hurt, #threatening the #uk .
#germany fearing about their #energy #security - many years too late: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/germany.. #trump #warned them about this years ago!
Goog, the #uk is finally stepping back from its #green #energy #pledge https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/uk-prio..
I heard that the #uk is being told to prepare for #energy #rationing , and now I am learning about potential #blackouts https://youtube.com/watch?v=YYHpjbv0VBU Apparently all of the #energy we original got from the likes of #norway are being #redirected to the #eu . *Still not talk about #nuclear #energy or bringing #coal / #gas online.* Fuck paying the #standing #charges for a #blackout . A lot of people #burning #wood this #winter for sure.
Great, just as we need it, #france are #reducing their #nuclear #energy #production in favour of #green #energy https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ha.. We will see how well this works out for them and the #eu ...
#india 's #energy is under even more #pressure as a #heatwave means people are turning on their #airconditioning to #survive https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/he.. The #problem is that they are being pushed further towards #russian #supplies , meaning they are now #politically #compromised as #germany recently #experienced .
