Germany voluntarily divested from Russian gas for political reasons. If Germany was run by more amoral "rationally greedy" business men I'm sure Russia would have happily kept selling energy to them despite the war.
It's probably why a certain someone sabotaged the nordstream gas pipelines, to make sure Germany's moral compass would not falter in the future - as its economy inevitably gets worse without cheap Russian oil and gas.
Fossil fuels are the underpinning of industrial civilization. It was fossil fuels that made the industrial revolution possible, it wasn't solar panels, and wind turbines, or heavy, giant batteries.
I don't understand what your point is here? Fossil fuels were instrumental in the industrial revolution so we have to stick by them forever, planet and people's health benefits damned?
Nah. Use the most appropriate tech available. Which is now renewables, electric motors, etc.
In my country, it was mostly large dams and hydroelectricity. But they have their own issues.
It was water power dude. Water and Windmills started the industrial revolution. We've just been finding better ways to spin electric generator motors since then.
Explain to the forum how water generates power. This should be funny.
How it started, how it's going.
