We have started to find out the hard way that wind and solar are pitiful in winter especially when we have no meaningful wind for days on end. While all eyes are on Ukraine and Russia, Europe’s energy woes are largely self-made, not due to outside forces. Let’s look at the bigger picture: – What has Europe done?

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were flat for a third straight year in 2016 even as the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency. Two-thirds of China’s electricity demand growth, which was up 5.4%, was supplied by renewables—mostly hydro and wind—as well as nuclear.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources. Gas is 60% efficient and wind, in this context, is 100% efficient even with transmission losses.
