While all eyes are on Ukraine and Russia, Europe’s energy woes are largely self-made, not due to outside forces. These are the prices before potential conflict erupts in Ukraine and an already tight European gas market is turned completely upside down. Build some more nuclear power stations. In the U.K., In the U.K.,

A worldwide deficit of lithium, a global shortage of semiconductors and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine are all heavily impacting production efficiencies, with some OEM lead times reportedly reaching upwards of twelve months. While data points to continued sector growth, wider market pressures are seemingly slowing the transition.

analyzed video and photos from the attack and showed, among other too-close calls, that ordnance landed some 75 meters away from a reactor building. It’s an unstable situation that—like Russia’s military actions—increases the risk of accidents that could spread radiation across Europe and threatens Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.

Devastating accidents, like the ones at Chernobyl in Ukraine and Fukushima in Japan, can leave areas uninhabitable. And as the technology matures, it could also find uses here on Earth, such as for small power plants for individual buildings, which would reduce fossil-fuel dependency and increase grid resiliency.

The Russian war against Ukraine is being paid for by exports of oil and gas, just like all of Putin’s previous wars. When you buy electricity, you are investing in building out the grid, renewable power generation and charging infrastructure. This war in Ukraine is a catastrophic human tragedy. We need to speak the truth.

Instead of building an airport, one analogy goes, crafting an SMR is like building an aircraft. Most of them are demonstration reactors, not linked to the greater grid, but a crucial stepping stone toward it. Rolls-Royce hopes to get the first of its reactors on the grid by 2029. And it’s still on the drawing board.

Most automotive manufacturers say they plan to use renewable energy in the future, but for now, most battery production relies on electric grids largely powered by fossil fuels. That’s why operating EVs typically releases less carbon than operating gasoline vehicles of similar size, even in coal-heavy grids like Shandong or West Virginia.

The only exception to this geographical intra-Europe rule was Ukraine, entering the Top 10 in 2016-2018 on the power of grassroots-driven lively market of second-hand EV imports, which seems to have stalled in 2019-2020. That said, China also dominates the global E-bus market, delivering and building assembly plants all over the place.
