This is Germany 1933, it's about to get a lot worse and we should all really vote for a non crazy government that will accelerate decarb. There's no alt.

Comment EU over-regulated really? (Score 1) 64

the common view that the EU is over-regulated and was amplified when it released its AI framework doesn't seem so valid, does it?
At least EU has a body of laws, and not an arbitrary release process.

In any case, one only had to look at the legal costs of operating in the US to know the argument of the land of the free vs EU's byzantine rules was moot.

Any other energy source is excluded.
It doesn't matter if they meet the specs.
It has to be nuclear.
Oh and they blocked several offshore windmill fields.
Why? Far right had placated that nuclear was great but after the 2022 election no one wanted to invest to foot the bill. So rather than deal with the reality of modern â/ kWh they rigged the game.

Lots more on costs, subsidies and constraint if you explore the site. The political consensus in the UK seems to be turning against the so called energy transition. The situation in the Gulf is clarifying minds. The absurdity of the idea that moving to intermittent wind and solar is either possible or is going to increase energy security or reduce energy prices is becoming obvious.

Funny—I’d actually say the opposite is happening. When people keep hearing of how well insulated China’s transport sector is from the ongoing oil crisis, how far ahead it is in the energy transition, and how quickly it continues to ramp up that transition, the picture they form is quite different.

Uranium is not renewable. At least not yet.
Which means it's coming form outside Europe.
Which means, Germany's approach is pretty sound long term for their and EU's balance sheet.
It reached 58% elect. from renewables in 2025. on track for 80% by 2030.
The right's obsession with nuclear baffles me. I thought you guys were all about energy independence?
