• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Russia cuts Poland and Bulgaria off from Natural Gas

Next winter will be rough but the electrical grid will fail soon, cuz they keep closing nuclear power and coal plants.
Yeah when they think wind and solar will out perform nuclear you have morons in charge. Solar has a legit application but you have to build enormous storage. I don't believe the tech is out there to even store 50% of what they could get. It is as strange as the people putting panels on their house. I get they can sell it back but you really need storage rather than on going shipments of electricity imho
 
I thought it had something to do with all the weapons that were being shipped through poland to kill Russian soldiers. .

They were serious about that ruble thing?
Yep, trying to keep a sustainable value to the ruble. They've actually been allowed to make several bond payments in rubles in lieu of dollars to cover debts recently.

As long as the ruble is accepted/used in trade a value remains.

Green will NEVER provide the same as Nuclear. NEVER
 
5 points is a big ass recession.
It would take something like 125% of all US LNG shipments to replace Russian gas. Of course we can't send all our exports there and the truth is that there is now way to replace Russian gas. Cost is 4 times more than pipeline gas from Russia. The electricity grid will fail and heavy industry will have to shut down in Germany and several other countries. I truthfully don't want Putin to win but the reality is the EU needs Putin.

In the face of supply chains already fubar that would not be good to say the least.
