    Meanwhile in my country, renewable energy sources are frowned upon and the government just announced plans to build 3 new coal powerplants.

      That’s because Europe is buying up all the cheaper natural gas.

      We’re just pushing the pollution down the chain.

          Not exactly. For Sechin to make up for those profits he would have stolen if those profits existed he hiked up gas price domestically. New yacht won’t buy itself.

          Also fucking lukoil that still is not sanctioned keeps selling oil, petrol and gas in Europe.

      Are you in Europe? Wtf Isn’t it a EU wide goal to phase coal out by 2030 or something?

        Is it? Coal is rampant in Eastern Europe.

        I think Romania is the only outlier, and that’s only because their former dictator forced them to build hydro and nuclear (ironically).
