Pumped hydro used to exist here in Sweden during the 1970s. They were phased out because they are not cost competitive. They built nuclear power plants instead because those were cost competitive at that time. It would be funny if the cost

In Europe the subsidies for nuclear is marginal and significant less per watt produced than wind, solar and gas. Talking about insurance in isolation is practically meaningless. Hydropower do not cover risk insurance of flooding, nor does f

Could you elaborate a bit on this. There seems to be a genuine group of people who are against burning fossil fuels. Burning natural gas causes health issues in cities, create water pollution that kills lakes, rivers, and ocean, and it caus

I don't think the question will land on the issue if people have a right to spread false information. Instead the big question will be if people have a right to decide which information is false and which is not. If people do not have

Given that the EU define natural gas as green (mostly thanks to Germany and the green party), it seems fairly clear that fossil fuels are here to stay. There is not much political capital to riot or demand political change. The major discus

This statement seems to be perfectly in line with the climate plans in EU. Natural gas (and oil to a lesser degree) has been delegated as the primary energy source to balance the electricity grid, spearheaded by the green party in Germany.
