    They’re losing uncountable billions of dollars in oil sales that they are not getting back because the countries that used to trade with them are pivoting rapidly to sustainable energy.

    Only a few more decades until sustainability! 🤡

      You are really behind the times aren’t you?

      Sustainable energy is exploding.

      In a few months, Germany reduced oil imported from Russia by 20%, from 35% and are actively replacing that energy loss with renewable resources.

      Many other countries are doing the same.

      Russian just cut off the remainder of the profit margin they had for their oil fields during extended years in the future they’ll be economically disadvantaged.

        70% of renewable energy in Germany is fucking wood burning.

        We are not even close to sustainability. I’m sure Europe can get by without Russia by relying on LNG and renewables, but my point is that sustainability is not happening.

          Sustainability is happening.

          Every year solar panels become more efficient and cheaper.

          Solar cars are going into production that refuel 40 mi a day from the Sun.

          Korean infrastructures are being installed by All of the most powerful countries sustainable and renewable green infrastructure at significant rates to phase out fossil fuels in one to two decades.

          Wind farms are being installed at rates that break records every year.

          Title currents are being used to produce electricity, more nuclear powers being installed this decade than an all of human history.

          Sustainability is happening very rapidly.

            Web searching has become so fucking useless. I just wanted to look up how much solar has been installed on a year-by-year basis and make a projection based on that, but I can’t fucking do it. It makes me feel stupid and old, as if I’m some grandma trying to figure out how computers work. It didn’t used to be this way! I should be able to look this shit up no problem, but I keep finding the same fucking shit that’s only about 2022-2023 or propaganda pieces from think tanks. I can’t find a simple ten year graph. It’s maddening. I can’t even argue with your first point because I’m too fucking stupid to use the internet. Fuck this, I’m not going to kill myself trying to argue with you.
