We need to get out of gas anyway due to the global warming.
We also can't keep being vulnerable to Russian black mail.
We need to increase investment in renewable power and build more nuclear power plants.
- cloutchaser 4y agoYes. I agree. How do you do that with 40% less gas in 1 year? You can't, because you will have rioting in the street, you will have people literally freezing to death, and no green politician will ever get elected again. Oh, and btw, what's the answer now to this gas shortage? Burning more coal and firewood. So your proposed vision is doubly going in the wrong direction. This isn't like switching from windows to linux. It takes years, and people actually die in the meantime if you get it wrong.
- Isinlor 4y agoWell, we will have to. Russians already cut us off the gas. That's done. EU leaders have to start behaving like we are in an economical war, because we are.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoIt's not 40% less gas. Europe managed to mostly fill their storage tanks over the summer, and Germany has 6 LNG terminals coming online in December. So it's going to be only 15% less gas. So no riots, no freezing to death.
