There is no capability to increase supply. See my other post - Eastern Europe is out of coal and nat gas. Belarus has excess energy from Nuclear, but is still triaging exports. People will go without power this winter if this isn't done.
- fastball 5y agoSo don't rely on coal and nat gas? What about solar? Wind?
- throw1234651234 5y agoEurope tried that, now they are trying to buy more gas from Russia. See Poland for an example. The point of that real-time example? Wind and solar are great, but they take time and the infrastructure is not yet there. Nuclear is arguably cleaner and cheaper for the output in the long term. Of course, infrastructure for nuclear isn't there in Kazakhstan yet either.
- oblio 5y agoYup, the magic pixie fairy will manage to build out electricity producing capacity that takes years to decades to build in days, weeks or months at best.
- sudosysgen 5y agoBoth solar and wind are simultaneously underperforming in Europe at the moment because of weather phenomena that reduce wind and increase cloud cover, plus of course winter. There is no solution outside of nuclear, coal, and nat gas. And Europe, save for France, doesn't have enough nuclear to go around.
