Maybe folks need to buy some of those Rolls Royce SMRs I've heard about.
The gated communities anyway...regular folks can't afford to own sh*t like that.
This little kerfuffle in Ukraine is liable to spur the renewables industries. Just as whale oil shortages caused a rise in petroleum use to meet the energy needs of the 17th century...
and the whole world smelled like kerosene.
Maybe it will spur someone to actually build one instead of just talking about it.
Putin has mobilized another 300,000 troops. He was hoping to avoid this, These aren't "seasoned troops" those are gone, dead or deserted. These are national guardsmen. Gung ho Russki boys off the streets of Gdamitskold with a little bit of rifle training and a hankering to shoot some nazi-jews! (Not to mention a taste for strong spirits and adventures with the local girls)
The more who fail to come home the weaker Putin will become.
How many nationalized Ukrainian troops are there and can they win the war of attrition that is about to ensue?
Worldwide gas markets are under revue and product is being shuffled about accordingly.
It's what worldwide markets do. Prices will flare and then settle. Germany has both coal and nuclear plants sitting idle...
But not a single SMR steadily churning out clean free energy.
And speaking of nukes, Putin has put them on the table. If they won't meet his demands he'll just kill them all.
Fair I guess...man's gotta stand up for his right to steal land and resources.
