I think it's unfair to apply these rules to culture-takers like ICs but an exec who has been there a while? Their CV should go straight in the trash.

Gas complements everything well. It's relatively cheap, easy to store power in large amounts and completely dispatchable. Nothing else can do all 3. Batteries work well for short term day-to-day storage but they're impossibly expe

Your citation isn't. It doesn't contradict anything I've said. It doesn't back up what you said. In fact, it agreed with me on one key point which you just trashed as Russian propaganda: >Absent the 1994 agreement

Ukraine didnt inherit the soviet nukes, the Soviet debts or the soviet seat on the UN security council either.
