Whichever group/nation abstains from consuming better energy sources will just get run over by the the nations that don't make that mistake. ESG et all are national suicide pacts, look at Europe. They are declining, and will be a weaker power as they use less energy than their competitors. Human history and the human condition is conflict and competition, you have to win the game against others, not voluntarily lose it.
- smolder 3y agoThis is kind of a shallow take. Building for sustainability makes a nation STRONGER in the face of declining resources. It's investing in the future.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoIn a global system like the one we have, is there really only one game to play in order to succeed?
- specialist 3y agoTransitioning from natural gas to renewables will make Germany weaker?
- nixass 3y agoNo but moving away from nuclear power will.
- specialist 3y agoJust checked and yes indeed, the German govt has and will continue to shut them down. Darn. I really thought they were going to pause and keep them running, for a while longer at least. I don't pay much attention to stuff outside of the USA. We've got so many problems of our own. But, in case you're interested, I did find this episode interesting. "Germany's current energy situation & its past energy choices. A conversation with German energy economist Claudia Kemfert." 2022/11/09 https://www.volts.wtf/p/germanys-current-energy-situation https://www.volts.wtf/p/germanys-current-energy-situation
