Imagine that, we could have been taking these steps all along… at least data shows once energy goes green it rarely goes back to fossil fuels, as after the initial investment green energy is cheaper even in peacetime!

All part of Trump’s plan to accelerate the green revolution. Checkmate libs!

Sadly it also sparks a coal boom as many countries are prepared to use their coal power plants more.

It’s a shame that this is happening now instead of 1970, otherwise we might have a more stable climate
It’s kinda funny how Trump turns out to be the best thing for Europe in the long run. Forced to build your own big tech, renewables, military capabilities. Dependence on the US is the worst.

If only we had a war in Europe that should have done this 4 years ago,

But the problem is that all of the power network balancing still need gas turbines.
Night time: gas turbines.
Too much sunshine / wind? You are right, gas turbines. (Because you need to create enough counter balance on different segments of the network. )
Winter time? Gas turbines and fossil based power plants.
Only France has enough nuclear capacity to be mostly fossil independent.
The real solution is to have huge batteries all around on different levels but that cost billions and need a complete redesign of current backbones which build on constant power generation in mind (fossil plants and nuclear plants) not random reverse power inputs from households.

Hoooorayyyyyy!

So the last 25 years when we try to get them to stop relying on russian energy, they didn’t do shit.
Now they are? Better late than never, but they’ve spent the last generation propping up their enemies and neutering their independence.

It’s time to end oil dependency once and for all.

Damn. Unfortunately it seems like this was the push we needed to go fully green.Â

Gee, who could have predicated that outcome?
I’m happy it’s happening but it could have been done earlier at a much faster pace if countries had simply redirected fossil fuel subsidies 5-10 years ago into solar and then EVs.

China will be the big winner from all of this.

Hello, Germany here. Yeah, could you transfer me to the service agent who can restart all of my nuclear power plants?

All Trumpty Dumpty has to do now is pivot to advocate green energy and take credit for this development. it‘s ginna make us all forget the Epstein files.

China wins again….

China must be so glad they voted for Trump in 2024! He’s really working hard to make China great again.
It would be so awesome if trump’s stupidity accelerated the death of fossil fuels
I’ve filled my gas tank once this year. I just bought yet another old bicycle to fix up and ride. No monthly payments 😉Â
Meanwhile, Trump is paying a billion dollars to stop wind energy.
Thanks fdp…. We still could have habeck in the economic ministry :/
Can confirm. I took Trump’s message to heart to be less reliant on oil by buying a Chinese EV.
Meanwhile, the German Minister wants to cut renewable subsidies.
She is a former lobbyist for fossile energy companies.
2 words Americans: technology connections. Please for the love of God listen to this man on his youtube channel.

And where are all those renewable items produced.
