1. time to turn it into scrap metal.

the world needs to stop using oil, coal, and natural gas anyway.

[Miguelito Loveless]

2. Agreed,

though the energy must be made up, and infrastructure takes time to build, even green infrastructure. I keep hoping for a "Green Manhattan Project/Marshall Plan/Great Society" undertaking.

3. necessity is the mother of invention

Things like this disconnect Russia from the world economy provide an impetus to make change... otherwise it is "kick the can down the road some more"

[Miguelito Loveless]

7. One can hope something

positive comes from this.

10. Instantaneous necessity is the mother of starvation and disease. Opportunism can go very wrong.

11. so... the germans should open up all the pipelines to russian oil and gas

There are only 2 stark alternatives here.

Turn off the pipelines and the money that supports a murderous dictator and his war machine

Or

Leave the pipelines on because of potential "starvation and disease".

18. Yeah, but the sweaters needed to compensate

are either from sheep (me-e-e-eh-thane) or petroleum-derived synthetics.

Or we can be comfortable and have 0 manufacturing.

4. Invest in renewables and solar. Problem solved.

Russia can drink and eat their oil, maybe come up with new recipes for borscht and vodka.

5. They are building a gas pipeline to China.

By the time this is ready, China might have cheaper green energy online!

6. I meant Germany.

Russia is a rogue state, and the CPC only cares about money and maintaining their power.

[roamer65]

12. If the Chinese invade Siberia.

They won’t have to pay for the gas!

[AZLD4Candidate]

15. I sincerely doubt the Chinese would invade Siberia

Most Chinese can't handle the cold of Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, or Heilongiang provinces.

On top of that, the Chinese military is as much of a paper tiger as the Russian army has turned out to be.

17. If Russia falls apart, it will be easy.

Let’s see what happens.

9. Restarting their nuclear plants will go much further than solar panels.

You have to remember WHERE the materials needed for solar panels & windmills comes from.

[cstanleytech]

13. If they decide not to go with nuclear then I wonder if they will try hydrothermal plants?

Germany does after all have a number areas where there has been volcanic activity within the last 10,000 years so those areas could be potential sites for such plants.

[oldsoftie]

16. I'm all for it.

[oldsoftie]

8. Apparently last week the US bought 0 barrels from Russia.

[Igel]

19. Oil's fungible.

"We stopped that 30 million barrels/day import from Russia and now import 30 million barrels/day from Russia. So obviously Russia's selling *less* oil. Aren't we good!! Of course, the Formally Republic of Chalesia last week used to buy its oil 100% from Albonia, 30 million barrels/day, and now it buys 30 million barrels/day from Russia. Evil, evil, Chalesiites."

Fun.

Gible.

[oldsoftie]

20. So the Biden administration is lying?

[The Jungle 1]

14. Germany is way ahead of us in renewable energy

There grid is presently at 46%
