Nord Stream pipeline leak in Baltic Sea could cement Europe's shift to renewables — eventually
CBC NEWS ^ | 10/1/2022 | Inayat Singh

Before the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea sprung massive leaks this week, spewing out tons of methane into the water and atmosphere, Europe had started planning for a long-term future without Russian gas — prompted by Putin's war in Ukraine.

Since the February invasion, Russia had been scaling down gas exports through the pipelines that European countries rely so heavily on for home heating and other uses.

EXCERPT: "We need whatever energy we can get our hands on this winter and probably next winter. But after that things are going to change, things are going to fall back into place."

Like the increased destruction of global food storage facilities, did the massive leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipeline happen to hasten the GREAT RESET?

Euroweenies/Greenies wishes come true.

The de-industrialization of Europe continues unabated.

Leak? It was sabotage.

The problem is that things don’t always work out as planned. The energy crunch is exposing the pipe dream of green energy as the impossible, expensive, polluting nightmare it has always been.
As people shiver and make difficult choices about whether to eat or to drive to work the lies they have been told by their Government & elites will be written bold in their hearts. It is going to be a long cold winter. Even the most committed pie in the sky wokester will be forced to notice and they are not good at bearing up under duress.

Let’s hope that freezing and starvation does sharpen some minds. But I am not counting on that...unless millions freeze or starve to death.

"renewables" are a fiction as a commercial power option, as defined by the green marxists.

As long as they continue to reject Nuclear Power as clean energy source, they will fail in reduced reliance on fossil fuels.

How about fracking for natural gas in their OWN countries, rather than importing Russian natural gas?

The Russians will charge whatever they like, and hold the threat of total cutoff at any time, so long as the potential beneath the North Sea, the English Channel, and the northern plains of the continent remains untapped. Even the coal mines could be a potential source of methane, and of course the gasification of coal into a mix of hydrogen and carbon monoxide as a fuel is nowhere near its potential for industrial purposes.

There is no need for a collective surrender to the Russian Federation.

Because the euroweenies/Greenies run the show in virtually all of Europe. They are steadily de-industrializing themselves, economically imploding, etc. simply because 1) they remain lackey’s to the whims of the US in dictating that they follw the US in sanctions on Russia (which have utterly backfired) and 2) the Euroweenies/Greenies Green agenda.

Every megawatt of wind/solar REQUIRES 1.4 megawatts of fast-reaction backup. Only hydro and GAS can fill that role.

Y’know what’s renewable? MSTR. Molten Salt Thorium Reactors. They breed their own fuel isotopes, so they can run for years without refueling, unlike the uranium fueled pressurized water reactors now in use. Self-renewing, if you will. Much, much safer to operate, and they produce only 1% of the high-level waste of the current generation. But will Europe even consider the MSTR? Heck, no. The right people wouldn’t make any money.
