CitizenVectron Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I guess Ukraine should just surrender. Also Trudeau is to blame because we don't have a pipe from Canada to Germany. And COVID stimulus, something something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid majority of Japanese citizens support nuclear power again and it appears they’re going to start building next gen reactors. Get with it Germany! It’s a mistake to not have nuclear in the mix, even if it is expensive. It is reliable power without carbon. Waste can be processed for power at next gen breeder reactors. They just have to build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Will the energy crisis crush European industry? | Financial Times WWW.FT.COM While companies are digging in for a long winter, executives and politicians fear a wave of deindustrialisation Quote On the surface, European industrial companies are putting a brave face on it — talking about the energy-saving measures they are implementing and the other costs they are finding to cut. While some are looking to coal and other fossil fuels to get them through the winter, others talk optimistically about the green revolution that the crisis is spurring. But there is already evidence that major companies are reducing production in some sectors because of the energy shortage, even before the winter kicks in. And executives from chemicals to fertilisers to ceramics businesses warn that they risk losing permanent market share and could be forced to move some of their production to parts of the world that can offer cheaper and more reliable energy. The alarm bells are ringing among Europe’s politicians. “We are risking a massive deindustrialisation of the European continent,” says Alexander De Croo, Belgium’s prime minister.

The real move is getting rid of car dependency altogether. Now, how about a realistic suggestion... We aren't getting rid of cars, and its doubtful we rid ourselves of oil. I don't think the minerals exist for an all electric future. At least until we have the tech to mine asteroids. I absolutely believe we need to make better public transit, but that wouldn't solve America's problems. We live extremely spread out, even in more populated areas, and North Americans like the freedom of being able to drive. Anyway how about we stop putting the environment on the backs of the people who aren't the cause, and put it on industries who are. Every time I hear someone say they are doing their part, I laugh a little at how misled they are. Not that I think we shouldn't try to make our part of the world better, but because the public bought the lie that recycling and living green would somehow offset the pollution and destruction caused by corporations. If carbon capture is possible in large amounts, we should absolutely be putting money towards it. We should also ban the use of any and all single use plastic, and plastic containers (while it won't necessarily help global warming, it honestly doesn't matter at the rate we're poisoning the ocean with micro-plastics, because when the ocean dies, we die). Force corporations to put percentages of money into a foundation that researches ways to make technologies less harmful to the environment. We need realistic solutions. Getting rid of cars ain't it.
