- belorn 4y agoThe Ukraine war will end in a few weeks, a couple of months at top. - HN comment in February.
- me_me_me 4y agoavg build time of nuclear reactor is 7years according to google. I am willing to bet a $100 russia will be long gone either from ukraine and/or be collapsed state.
- belorn 4y ago7 years sound as a much better bet than 2 months, but who knows. The US has stayed in the middle east for longer than that. I fully expect that the energy crisis in EU will last much longer than 7 years. The hydroelectric dams in northern Europe need to be replaced and reduced, while the industry and transport sector need to switch to using more electricity. Reducing energy capacity from the corner stone of energy production while at the same time increase consumption is going to take a while to fix. 20-30 years is a more likely time table for when those issues will start to be solved.
