The premise of your argument is basically, "They have to do what I want because the decision they already made led to an imperfect situation."

Not quite. It didn't lead to an "imperfect" situation, it led to a disastrous situation.

You're ignoring completely that the decision they made was in response to an already-imperfect situation.

Not really. It was made to remedy an imaginary problem.

Go replaced C++ on the server

This is not entirely correct. Go is not really used in the places where C++ is used.

Yeah, and real men don't buy food in stores or restaurants, they hunt it down and kill it with their bare hands.

How do developers become this stupid?

the "concrete and asphalt" requirements are minimal

Not where I have observed them. They have tended to be on mountain-tops etc, where a significant amount of infrastructure to build, mount and maintain them has been required.

Like Here, and here

Main problem: I am a software developer with a comfortable salary, my wife makes more. What about those who do not have the economic flexibility to survive in such a system? At lear 20-25% of the population in Europe would be hit by severe financial troubles in such a scheme. Just wait and see for this summer.

Romania is part of the EU, one of the advantages of which is that it doesn't need to be energy independent

Sure, but the main problem there is that the EU doesn't really have a surplus to share, particularly not when the somewhat insane German politicians are shutting down their nuclear powerplants.

Hmmm, did mommy let you out of your harness to play with the computer again? She really shouldn't. You know that it only makes you try to fuck your sister.

Oh, did mommy let you out of your harness to use the computer today? Tell me something, I have never before communicated with someone with only two grandparents in their family tree. Does it make holiday parties more fun?

Just curious, how much land must be put under concrete and asphalt to build a wind farm that can reliably deliver this amount of power? How does that impact the flora and fauna in the area?

Meanwhile they could be investing in cleaner technologies with higher growth and lower cost, and more domestic involvement.

I would love to see a solution that is cleaner and safer, reliably delivering the same amount of power. I can think of nothing that doesn't involve carbon-based fuel except hydro, which I don't know is a possibility here.

No, it doesn't. The problem of spent nuclear fuel management has been solved by scientists for decades. Sadly western politicians seem to be incapable of registering this, and are resisting any reasonable way of doing this.

Russian gas would be cheaper and safer in all respects

I am not so sure. What do you think the cost of re-building Mariupol will be? How safe has kharkiv been the past few months?

No, the Spanish brought smallpox over, which cut the North American Native population

BZZT! WRONG! Smallpox was not brought to North America by the Spanish, they brought it to Central America where it spread south. The North American native population caught smallpox from the settlements in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and who were the ones that came there? Not the Spanish, for sure.

Remove those, then rely on wind and solar for this and see how it goes

Wind and solar obviously can't do this. This is why people need to get over their superstitious ideas about nuclear power. In Europe now the event lunatic fringe left-green maniacs are admitting that there is not going to be a solution to the problems they care so deeply about without the us of Nuclear Power.

Eh, no. In NORTH America, the population was decimated by AMERICANS, not the Spanish. Clearly the US educational system is appaling. Before the Europeans came, the indigenous population of NORTH America is estimated to between five and fifteen (or even as high as eighteen) million. When YOUR ancestors were done, that number was about 250 000.

You should sue all of your educational institutions. They were incompetent and systematically racist by omitting the teaching of the foundations of your country..
