The first part of my praise for the EU’s plan for the complete replacement of Russian natural gas focused on more natural gas, LNG and pipeline gas from other suppliers. Now let’s look at the non-gas parts of the plan, which as a whole, to recall, sees the replacement of 155 billion cu m of Russian pipeline gas as detailed in an
I've always thought there must be logic in the actions of decision-makers, whose decisions affect the livelihoods of millions of people but I'm seeing so much illogical behaviour from the EU's decision-makers I've accepted I must have been wrong all this time. I blame blatant incompetence and lack of any desire to change that.
There has been no logic in their behavior for the last 20 years.
I'm not sure about recent events, but regarding past decision making, I think looking for corruption would be more fruitful than looking for incompetence.
The corruption appears widespread. It could be stupidity, but it's hard to believe that folks smart enough to get themselves into office could be that gormless and surrounded only by folks who lie about energy.
I honestly no longer believe intelligence of any sort is a necessary condition for getting elected. Most people don't vote with their brains, alas, I've seen it one too many times here and not just here.
But I would agree there has to be a high degree of corruption, and not necessarily direct financial corruption. Rather, it may be a case of defending certain business interests against other business interests.
What if the EC asked all EU citizens to increase their legumes consumption (which aren't much affected by price increases like say wheat), emit biogas from their anuses and build the infrastructure to collect it from the confort of one's home? It's something that every good EU citizen should be ready to undertake for the motherland to replace all those evil Russian natgas imports.
What an absolutely brilliant idea! And it has the added benefit of all of us being healthier if smellier. You should write to the EC, they may well consider it.
I recently came across the insightful article you published about the EU's gas replacement plan, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the thorough analysis and balanced perspective it provided. It's encouraging to see the growing recognition of the potential for sustainable energy sources, such as biogas, in reducing our carbon footprint and promoting a greener future.
In line with the topic of your article, I would like to recommend <a href="https://www.evoet.com.au/how-it-works/">Biogas Power Generation</a>. They have been making significant strides in the field of renewable energy, particularly in biogas power generation. Their innovative solutions and commitment to sustainability could be valuable in supporting the EU's goals for a more environmentally friendly energy infrastructure.
Irina, you are looking for logic where none exists. This isn't a well thought out plan. More of a suicide pact.
Why? One can only guess.

Corruption can be as simple as putting one's interest in staying in office ahead of the good of society...
Well said.
Weather-based/dependent electricity is only as predictable as...the weather.

I fear they might. Thank you for your content Irina.
