Reply to comment by karma_dumpster in TIL that the movie „Gaslight“ (1944), which inspired the term „gaslighting“ (and has been around till the 60s), is based on the play „Gas Light“ (1938) by British novelist Patrick Hamilton and is set in 1880 London. by The_Sceptic_Lemur
Thats just like, your opinion man.

Eight billion people is insane behaviour. Of course it's unsustainable. We need to get it down to two billion and stay there. We can do it voluntarily, with women's education and higher living standards, and do what Japan and most Western nations do, stop having 2.1 kids per family, or disease and war will do it for us.

How do you know the root causes of Europe's energy woes? You're talking in generalities, "hedged their bets on the globalized system" hurr durr.
You obviously never read any news or newspaper websites.

You're right and I'm wrong. Europe isn't in an energy crisis at all, power is dirt cheap and the Pound is going gangbusters.
You are also a random dude with a lot of ignorance to work over.
I don't have to please you. At all.

Why does my non-support bother you so much it threatens your "sanity"?
"Distributed production is a good thing".....omg.....it's the opposite of efficiency. Why am I arguing with a twenty-something...
Europe has jumped with both feet into wind and solar, they've spent trillions. Yet they're in an energy crisis. I thought these technologies were better. You said they are. So Britain shouldn't be paying what they are paying for electricity.
Unless it's all a giant fucking scam and a lie. Which I think it is.

Why would I be satire. Why do I have to embrace solar like a religion? Your insults sound like a bot. Claiming I endanger your sanity is so emotionally over the top. Seek help.

China has sacrificed its environmental quality to satisfy Western demand for the rare earth metals, lithium and cobalt needed to drive tie so called green energy revolution. This us refereed to as “greenwishing” and is pure hypocrisy.

I said 25 years, you said 35. That's not grossly overestimating the degradation.
And when they're useless, they're not recyclable. Glass doped with rare earth metals. How the hell do you recycle this?

>wind and solar is vastly superior to nuclear.
Doubtful, and the hubristic language doesn't help. Solar panels decay, lose capacity every year. 3%? 5? In 20-25 years, they're useless and have to be replaced.
One wind turbine costs a million Euros and has hundreds of pounds of rare earth metals. Someone has to mine that. So far, the west has downloaded that environmental damage on to China, who has sacrificed their rivers to make sales to us.
Yes I know, downvote. Downvote your bitter little hearts because reality does not conform to your expectations.

Investment is investment. Could it be that the economics simply blow?
The trend in energy has always been towards more concentrated , intense energy sources. Nuclear, and fusion continue that trend. Wind and solar do not. They are dilute, weak, distributed.

Hard to say. So far no, capex has not responded. Would you risk investing if the potential reward was negative oil prices?
