This is an odd issue to have as a "modern" country, but geopolitics are complicated.
I'm surprised that our government didnt see this coming, considering the Ukraine-Russia conflict has been going on for nearly a decade - maybe we need to revisit some other dependencies as well?
Either way, this giant thermos is a cool idea, and I wish we had the same in my city now!
Tangentially related rant;
Man, it sucks we (im german) dont ever listen to any qualified experts anymore, unless they tell us what we want to hear.
I love feelings and emotions as much as the next guy, and I appreciate a good story that can make me cry and feel things, but we didnt really have to talk ourselves into being so scared of nuclear to turn it off indefinitely.
It's one of those decisions that was made completely out of fear, and to appeal to the voters, I assume. It's fucked us royally, and it's absolutely miserable to see that other countries with "worse" governments do a better job of this. Still almost everyone I know will argue "do you want a Chernobyl next to our city???", and seemingly, this is the kind of irrational thing this government uses as core points for making decisions.
I'm out of here first chance I get, if someone wants to offer me a job literally anywhere where the government can read and listen, im taking it.
