You know, this was something everyone should have thought about before giving Russia billions in trade surpluses by deindustrializing the West's economies.
I just checked http://stopgas.org/en/ http://stopgas.org/en/, it's still turning over.
- mattmanser 5y agoBuying gas does not lead to deindustrializing. In fact, quite the opposite. If the west was still more industrial, rather than moving to service, it would need MORE gas not less.
- cheaprentalyeti 5y agoIt used to be that we could generate power without needing massive amounts of Putin-enriching natural gas. Germany has to use it because the peaking plants are a useful way of disguising the fact that all the reliable baseload generation is shut down.
