Norway's Electricity Crisis is About to Hit Britain.

4. It's historically observed. This winter it led to extremely high prices in Europe, with Sweden, Norway and other...

...countries threatening to cut off Germany. It still may happen again.

I have somewhere in my files, a paper suggesting that Dunkelflaute events - the word was originally German but has gone international as it's been observed, with consequences for all of Western Europe - are likely to become more frequent as the atmosphere continues with its accelerating degradation.

I contend that the atmospheric degradation is a function of the last 40 years of the successful, but stupid, demonizing of nuclear energy. It's now too late to "wake up" to reality, vast damage is now irreversible, but that said, it is still the best and only option we have, to go nuclear against fossil fuels, cutting the useless wind and solar businesses out of the loop. I do see, after 40 years of making this point, as something of a voice in the wilderness among my fellow political liberals, that attitudes toward nuclear are becoming more positive, but regrettably, most of the energy money is still sunk into so called "renewables" - even though the land and mass requirements leave a question of whether "renewables" are actually renewable. My view is that "renewables" are not sustainable, never have been sustainable, and can't be made sustainable. They will continue to do what they have been doing, make things get worse faster and doing less than nothing to address the clearly unsustainable use of fossil fuels, on which in fact, "renewables" depend, battery and hydrogen bullshit notwithstanding.

Whatever the case, Dunkelflaute is a very serious matter, and Europe is waking up to it and its consequences are causing political instability.
