ᐅ Gas Prices – Where Is Gas Still Affordable?

What am I supposed to believe? Is climate change a religion or a phenomenon that can be described scientifically?

It is a phenomenon that can be described scientifically.
Global warming caused by additional CO2 is a measurable fact.

So “carbon trading” is not a good analogy.

You basically have to bite into one of two unpleasant options:
- System transformation with undesired side effects.
- Higher warming of the Earth than without this transformation, with undesired side effects.

What is not an option is: everything continuing as before without side effects. That is the comforting falsehood of the “anti-green” movement.

Hello chand1986

Not bad. So there are "greens" and "anti-greens." Apparently nothing else.

P.S. Maybe this post will stay up. Most of my posts get lost in deletion sprees.

There was a specific reason for the quotation marks.
Unfortunately, I can’t underwhelm everyone at the same time…

Take all your aliases

Hello i_b_n_a_n

You see, this is the language typical of your Green Party supporters. Quite crude.
And furthermore: I am neither represented here in the forum “multiple” times nor do I have several “aliases.”
Okay, we can assume that the rise of the Greens has just reached its peak and, according to the laws of nature, a decline of equal intensity will follow.
Of course, this will happen with a ruined Germany. The neighboring countries can shake their heads as much as they want about Germany’s self-destruction—they will still be astonished.

P.S. I joined this forum to get advice regarding building. And I was surprised when the Greens took over the place.

We are currently using a lot of gas because half of the nuclear power plants in France are offline.

If we had enough nuclear power plants running, we could even supply our neighbors with CO2-free electricity now and would not need the fossil fuel backup for the "renewables."

That is definitely the case, and that’s a good thing. However, next time there will probably be endless protests or non-voters again, allowing those guys to come to power through tricks, just like this time.

Well, certainly not that. Should I bring out the map showing which countries around the world have declared a gas emergency?

A widespread misconception. German Angst at its finest.

Alright then. Shoemaker, stick to your last.

Hello Mycraft

That would be interesting.
As far as I know, only Germany has declared an actual "gas emergency."
Now, the reason behind this needs to be addressed: Germany’s Green policy shut down all baseload-capable power plants and intends to cover the country with wind turbines that cannot provide baseload power. Even some Greens understand that this approach doesn’t work. Since nuclear power is baseload-capable and CO₂-neutral but is strongly opposed by the Greens, and coal is even less acceptable, there must be some reliable, quickly dispatchable energy source. At the moment, only gas fits that role. And there you have it: the circle closes.

P.S. Please forgive my somewhat informal wording. I have mentioned before that my field is internal and external security. As a major with many deployments abroad, I cannot be an all-round expert.
