It ain't pumped hydro as they are not opening gargantuan concrete industrial sites to produce the portland cement for all the gargantuan dams required nor are they displacing millions of people out of Switzerland to build said lakes from There is no viable battery technology unless you play pretend that one can pay $1 or higher for a kWh and still have a modern society. Europe does not have the biomass to do so, they are maxed and already importing trees from other nations... Leaves Wind, which in summer time does not blow and in the dead of winter also does not BLOW.... Great all they have to do is build 6X capacity factor of wind turbines which will cover ~ 9 months of the year... probably this......... one of the old time favourite energy sources and winter fun time........? 4 hours ago, Starschy said: Turkey is for sure Europe otherwise I would donate a Swiss Atlas for US Schools. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European_Union there are totally 28 countries in the EU, including Croatia. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And because Algieria has been pursuing such a policy for years, she has a very large amount of post-Soviet or Russian weapons in stock, which she must after all service. I recommend the case of my Poland and our as always very clever Polish strategists who thought that the entire NATO post-Soviet Mig-29 would be renovated without a license from Russia in Poland. The result is that polish 40 MIG-29 are slowly dying from the lack of parts for undertaking such activities without the manufacturer's license. So I know that it was supposed to be satirical on the basis of arguments such as "ad Putinum" (new version of ad Hitlerum) or "Russia did it" but sorry for our Russian colleague Russia is not a most powerful country in Africa but in Algeria, Russia has a powerful influence, Check it out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_People's_National_Army If you dont know about 90 % of military equipment mentioned above are postsoviet or russian origin. Although, frankly speaking, looking at what a disgrace ultimately turned out to be the entire Russiagate and Russia's alleged great support for Trump's election, it's just a final laugh for our Russian colleague. And score points all the time because this was a total bulshit. Well, I would like to remind you that Trump was allegly a Russian agent to make Russia great again. And common knowledge was that everyone in the Kremlin was allegedly afraid of the terrible Biden, which will not be a Russian agent and will impose such sanctions that the world has not seen yet, that it is a piece of cake in a case against Iran. Perhaps it would be so if, by a miraculous twist of fate for America, the People's Republic of China suddenly disappeared from the map. But since China is getting stronger and the US can see that time is not working in their favor, the CIA chief is coming to Moscow and no sanctions are planned for the time being. If yu are sensible man please dont watch Rachel Maddow but read some open letters from last year. I such 2 of them and especially list of supporters to know whats really going on. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/08/05/open-letter-russia-policy-391434 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/09/25/russia-open-letters-rebuttal-421546 I would say that a lot of people signed these lists, people who are not the least significant in the USA. Well, but if someone expected the terrible Biden who would finally bring Russia to its knees, then, in general, there are people who are often affiliated with the Democratic Party in total. One of the points of contention is Ukraine. At the moment, there is no gas and coal, and President Zelenskiy is fighting against Akhmetov in Ukraine (richest oligarch in Ukraine). https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5064948 - current relations between Biden and Putin. Because it was not argumentum ad Putinum but Trump was main problem for establishment in USA not Putin. "They consider that engagement with what they view as an irredeemably hostile, aggressive and immoral Russia under President Vladimir Putin is a fool’s errand at best. They propose instead focusing on ever mounting punishment of Russia’s malign behavior through sanctions, in the conviction that Russia will eventually capitulate and repent of its past conduct, accept all responsibility for the deterioration in relations, and take the first steps to repair the damage. They minimize Russia’s power to resist these punishments and continue to inflict damage on the United States and its allies and partners." I think they have a very good grasp of what Russia is and what they intend. I believe that the Russian Bear is still a bear and will knock over any door that it is allowed to. Its actions continue to show that habituation. Only a fool would trust any agreement made with Russia. They have broken every one they ever made. Ukraine, Georgia, and Byelorussia are only the most recent reminders. Belarus is a dictatorship and is acting like a pawn of Russia, just as North Korea is a pawn of China. Putin only understands strength. The European Union is bordering on pacifist and Germany is the main country guiding it. It has counted on Putin to supply its natural gas and is getting what it deserves. It needs to toughen up and pay its own military to deal with Russia. We should only backup through NATO and cooperation. We have our own would be dictator in Biden and the Demoncrats. RCW 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are worse than a US ARMY second lieutenant or a Navy Ensign with a map. Thrace is part of Turkey and is in Europe. I have been to Constantinople and it is in Europe just like Bulgaria and Greece next door. Above on the Mig -29, USAF maintains 8 aircraft acquired from Germany as part of its OPFOR wing. German Mig 29's used to fly as OPFOR in Red Flag and the Mig 29 in the hands of German pilots was better than frontline F-15A, F-16A, and F-18A. There is an old (20 years ago) video on History channel where a film crew accompanied a Navy F-18A squadron to Germany for exercises. The Navy held its own in scripted exercises but lost its butt when the Luftwaffe was allowed free style on the last day. usually same result for Zooomies.

nsdp + 449 eh November 16, 2021 For the benefit of those discussing European gas supplies. Let me dispel some ignorance: Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass to introduce feedgas to the commissioning Train 6 liquefaction unit. Venture Global’s greenfield Calcasieu Pass LNG terminal, which has also started commissioning, is likely not far behind. This step of the projects’ start-up process marks the beginning of a level-shift up in baseline demand for feedgas. There is currently about 75 MMtpa (~9.9 Bcf/d) of LNG export capacity operating in the U.S., 67.3 MMtpa (8.9 Bcf/d) of that on the Gulf Coast. At full utilization, that amounts to about 11 Bcf/d of feedgas demand. The completion of Train 6 and the entirety of the Calcasieu Pass project will increase total liquefaction capacity to 89.65 MMtpa (nearly 12 Bcf/d) and bring total feedgas deliveries up by about 2.25 Bcf/d to more than 13 Bcf/d by the end of 2022. And a chunk of that will be in final commissioning stages and possibly start service during the coming winter." https://rbnenergy.com/hear-my-train-a-comin-part2-rising-lng-exports-hitch-us-gas-to-soaring-ttf-jkm-prices Start up has already affected Henry Hub prices by $2/mmbtu compared to last year.

This expansion and these exports are exactly why Dems and Biden are not nearly as green as rednecks report. Let’s not forget that flaring for profit at the expense of the planet and American lungs is still going on. I seem to be the only one on the planet woke enough to figure it out. Kinda like allowing employers to hire illegals without fear of penalty is why America is an attractive destination for illegals.

It shows,~ 1/3-->40% Direct Normal Irradiation at Madrid which is the standard used by pretty much everyone on said subject.

Total average for 6 months October --> April is about ~40% of summer. Where one of those 6 months will on average be over ~50% of summer be it either in spring/fall. Last I checked, there is no 1000GW interconnect.... So, on the daily average one needs, by the time you get inefficiencies for battery storage, and minimums of winter, one needs 10X-->13X Grid requirements. This can be dropped if we finally come up with a true battery that can store power for more than a couple months.

No, we will not be moving industrial capacity around away from Winter as economics forbids it and most processes do not like to be idled.

Let me get this straight... you think you are going to power your civilization on 1700kWh/yr.... right.... 🙄. Good luck on that one. And if you install those exact same solar panels in Southern Morocco/Algeria/Liby, you will obtain 30-->50% more power a year and the labor is cheaper. Guess where they will be built... NOT in SPAIN! So, instead of begging the Gulf region or Russia, you get to beg the African's for power. Albacete IS MADRID only slightly to the east🙄. Same lattitude, same climate or nearly so. 😆 When in reality you would have to literally cover all of Spain to get the necessary power.
