The other question is with these record profits and knowledge of the climate crisis since 1970 (53 years) what has it done to invest in renewables? Shell talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Their non fossil fuel investments are like 1.5% of their profits. It's abysmal.

[@Fellowtellurian]

The Inflation reduction act and infrastructure bill both helped fund recarbonization assistance at the consumer level. The government now gives homeowners 6k for replacing gas and oil burners, 3k for electrical panel heavy ups, 2k for electric vehicle charging station installations and several thousand for solar rooftops. Thats JUST grants, not even the tax write offs. If you hate SHELL, ditch SHELL. Also, if you want a fossil fuel free transport option better and more flexible than electrified public transportation, look at the Energica Ribelle 100% electric motorcycle. Can park it anywhere, never pay for gas, never pay for parking and never again do I have to visit a Shell gas station.

No nuclear energy is not the answer. a) its massively more expensive than any other generation in the order of 10x solar. b) It cant be built to scale as we lack the skilled manpower and time to meet Climate change needs. c) u235 supply is limited so it aint going to fly.

[@anteeko]

Nuclear is absolutely part of the answer, although it takes decades to ramp up production.

[@Ratgibbon]

Russia has the biggest uranium enrichment capacity, to build it up in the West would need time. Kazakhstan is the biggest producer of uranium, Russia marched in there a few years ago when there was some turmoil in that country. Nuclear reactors need radiation hardened alloys in their core which requires exotic metals. That'd create bottlenecks like what we see today with cobalt and Li-batteries for example. Yes, nuclear is going to be an important energy source in the future, I have no doubt about it. But it won't be "The Answer" to our future energy needs. Instead of trying to find a silver bullet solution we should rely on a diverse source of (relatively speaking) clean energy in my opinion.

This fixation with climate change coupled with traditional "green" anti-nuclear advocates particularly in Europe have contributed significantly to the war in Ukraine.

These poor energy policies empowered Putin and have funded his invasion.

[@toddbrackett4277]

@@Jonpoo1, I have already mentioned the decommissioning of the nuclear power stations, the Russian natural gas procurements were ramped up to offset these closures and those of the coal plants. Germany under Merkel invested billions in pipelines that made its economy Increasingly dependent on a specific energy source from a single supplier. This single supplier also constituted the single greatest threat to European security. If natural gas was the preferred solution than why not invest in LNG ports rather than Russian pipelines? this would have enabled Germany to purchase gas from multiple suppliers. Why not keep the nuclear stations online or build new ones? This option produces little air pollution and uranium can be sourced from many countries. Solar works well in places like southern Spain but there is not enough sun in Germany to be a viable solution.

There is no doubt that Germany failed to ensure it had energy security but then the United States did exactly the same thing in the 1970's. The important thing now is that Germany and indeed the rest of Europe make the necessary changes required to maintain energy security and at the same time remain focused on the Green transition.

One of the biggest differences between now and the 1970s is that capex in oil and gas exploration has fallen dramatically - oil and gas companies have essentially been 'fat-shamed', are now the new Big Tobacco and are uninvestible (see ESG Orphans). Added to that, higher interest rates raises their costs. The Energy Crisis of the 1970s saw an exploration capex boom which came online at the end of that decade. We are not going to see that now and green alternatives are not going to plug the gap. All the while global energy consumption grinds higher.

@@joesmith3590 The chap meant "Copenhagen", not Denmark. Rural areas are poorly served by public transport, so you see plenty of ancient small cars trundling around at 70 km/h (a result of DK's taxation system), to the point where a small town like Kalundborg has daily traffic jams.

@@joesmith3590 majority of people live in cities and daily commutes are relatively short. Yes, important is to design cities properly - but believe me, Denmark and Netherlands used to have car centric approach before 1973.

@@gnoccialpesto I used to work in rural area and yet many people commuted by bikes there, using great bike roads.

So genius! I will also now go the 30 km to work by bike. Why has no one ever thought about that? Next time I'll go to Thailand I'll just go by bike!
