Now three Baltic countries and Poland are building new nuclear plants to replace Lithuania’s Soviet-type Ignalina plant, which contains the two largest operating reactors in the world. ... There are some paradoxes about nuclear energy and Europe. For example, in order to become a member of the EU, Bulgaria must shut down its Kozloduy nuclear power plant. But any Bulgarian government wishing to survive will have to re-open it as soon as the country is safely in the EU. Sweden will keep her dozen plants working for at least another 40 years. Finland is already building a fifth plant and intends to start work on a sixth.

Apparently the plan to scare Europe away from nuclear energy backfired.

If you look at the volumes of russian oil and gas exports since 1986

it looks like Russia is at the very top of the food chain

Today Russia is number one oil exporter with the export volume on top of Saudi Arabia

Europe is consuming like 40% of its natural gas from Russia

when oil price reaches $100 ruski make on export of oil and n-gas one billion dollars a day

with the economy of 1.2 tril in GDP this is big for them
