Solar generates like 1/10 in the northern countries for half of the year. No batteries currently can solve this. The problem with global ecological regulations is they never differentiate between countries on the equator or 30th parallel with countries around 60. They expect everyone to only run on sun and wind. It isn't possible. There has to be at least nuclear which is ridiculously expensive. It's generally not an easy problem to solve otherwise it wouldn't be a problem anymore. First sensible thing to do is to relax the expectations for countries like Poland that have no good way to compete with other countries energy wise because of geographical location that noone chooses. It is extremely unfair to treat everyone the same even though every country has different energy resources. | ||

There's a solution that costs less than fossil fuels, but it's a coordination problem and the USA is structurally unable to solve those anymore. I guess the Soviet Union wins the last laugh? | ||
