The UK only just now is starting to talk about nuclear after blowing it off for decades, and I dont think I need to tell you about the unhinged self own that is Germany's nuclear situation.
Quite merciful of you.
Although you always need to keep into account that what seems like a bad decision from the POV of public interest may be very good from the self-interest of the parties involved. E.g. the German environmentalists were bribed by Gazprom to support the Nord Stream pipeline. Their argument was that given that nuclear is a no-go for them, natural gas would be needed for the transition to supposedly clean sources of energy.
for entirely political reasons they utterly refuse to buy American gas, to the point they still try to find ways around their own sanctions to get Russian gas to offset what Norway cant fulfill.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. What I see is Germany and the rest of Europe committing economic suicide by buying heavily marked-up American LNG, instead of cheap Russian natural gas... and that was before the imperial puppet ceased the transit of all Russian natural gas entirely.
Remember that this is a 'country' that didn't raise a peep of protest or even comment when its critical infrastructure was targeted by sabotage and terrorism by the US. They are puppets.
And when Trump told them this would be a problem, they laughed at him (a moment that will forever live rent free in my head as a sign of "European Arrogance").
Let's be real, Trump was wrong. He was trying to foist expensive American energy on Europe vs. cheap Russian energy. It's good for you. It's very bad for us. But the interests of the mercillessly exploited periphery doesn't matter much to the imperial center.
I have no problem admitting climate change is influenced by human behavior, and even if it isnt getting rid of pollution is a good thing.
And that is why I am more enthusiastic about replacing coal with natural gas than with replacing natural gas by so called 'renewables' - even if it were practical.
I do find it funny that so many Europeans seem to treat America as some desolate hellscape compared to them
When Greece was conquered by Rome, they had to pull up their noses for Rome, because otherwise they'd have nothing. All things considered, I'd rather live in Europe than in the US, but that may be because I've always lived here.
yet like I pointed out we are the one actually reducing our pollution output in comparison
They don't care. They care about symbolism. Or rather, they care about what they're told to care about, which are solely symbolic things. With immigration, they experience in their daily lives that it is a disaster, so they don't buy what they are told - contrary to what Americans here will tell you, even leftists Europeans generally aren't PC. With climate change, they don't know much, so it's easy to buy into hypes that are in the media or ambient.
