        I’d be paying that anyway for renewable power given the geography of my country, where nuclear is impossible (ABSOLUTELY impossible). If someone could cut the natural gas from our energy pie and give us clean electricity as a replacement we’d be grateful, given our limited space and relative lack of renewable resources.

          And I’m paying that thanks to the German government who made us reliant on cheap and “clean” Soviet natural gas instead of making our own power with our own resources. But hey, shifting emissions to Siberia is easier!

            Atomausstieg was plain stupid, agree. But legitimately. I have no idea how my country will survive decarbonisation. We’re a tropical island; we have money, but not much else with regard to resources anyway.
