		Finland's current energy equation according to Google Gemini: `Is Finland importing household garbage from Italy and why?` Gemini: ... In summary, Finland imports waste (mainly as pre-processed fuel) to feed its modern waste-to-energy plants, which are a key part of its heating and energy strategy, especially as domestic residual waste volumes decrease due to better recycling and as a replacement for former Russian renewable fuel imports. `Why you call it "processed"? It is raw garbage in huge mounds smelling bad and harboring flies and rats?` Gemini: ... This processing turns smelly, inconsistent "garbage" into a stable, high-quality, non-hazardous secondary fuel that is compliant with strict EU waste shipment and energy production regulations. The whole point of the import is to fuel power plants efficiently, which requires this specific, processed product. `Lets try again. Why the "processed" mound of garbage from Italy smells bad and houses flies and rats?` Gemini: ... Sometimes .... `This is not "sometimes", it makes living near Loviisa harbour impossible.` Gemini: ... It is clear that the environmental integrity and quality of life for residents of Loviisa have been compromised by the need to fuel Finland's waste-to-energy capacity with large, sometimes substandard, imports. etc etc.

		There wasn't much about the energy equation there. And since it's just conversation with Gemini just pasted here, I'm not sure how much to trust it and it just feels lazy and disjointed.
