I wonder what interests have prevented complete independence from volatile fossil fuel oligopolies/cartels?
People talk about renewables and net zero like they're ideological. I'm sorry but no. I'm not as old as some of you here and I want to have a future for myself and those who follow me. And if that means a few rich people have a few less toys, I'm willing to live with it...
IMHO, the ultimate goal should be nation state self-sufficiency. Massive innovation in the fields of solar and wind energy and their storage, accompanied with state of the art modular reactors, "bio gas" et al are topics that deserve very significant attention. The banishing of toxic dependancies, in more than one sense of the term, trump IMHO the exclusively ideological "green fundamentalistic" environmental narratives. It has little to do with tree hugging. It is a matter crucial to security, national as well as geopolitical. And the cost factor must be scrutinized and addressed, as well as the removal of sprawling, obstructive bureaucracies in order to relieve it's burden. "Gegenfinanzierung" is what it's called here in Germany. There is too much money flowing into senseless, superfluous administrative "black holes".
