"Renewable Germany vs unsustainable nuclear France"

Let's check in with the data:

@BrianGitt @heik_energy Yup, burning one form of energy to get another form of energy is a great use of energy.

Rich Country Low Energy?

[John Lee Pettimore @JohnLeePettim13]

The legacy of wind turbines. Millions of worn-out wind turbine blades, containing poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonates. They cant be recycled so they are left to rot. #GreenEnergy

containing no nickel or cobalt, a move to cut reliance on metals with supply or environmental issues.
Tesla is creating a permanent magnet motor that doesn't use rare earth metals, that would lower costs, use fewer "constrained commodities" and "environmental and health risks"

[energy.resources @ResourcesEnergy]

Tesla have limited options to replace rare earth magnets in its next-generation electric vehicle motors as it tired moves away from rare earth metals to reduce environmental and supply risks.
~half of Tesla vehicles made in Q1 2022 were from lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery

[Zion Lights @ziontree]

The idea that reservoirs should be covered with solar panels is being floated as an environmental solution.

What about wildlife in reservoirs? How will they be protected from toxic waste as the panels begin to disintegrate? Is this really a good option?! https://t.co/eLLPpAEOSE

2022 emissions reduction too little to put Germany on track for 2030 target

"We have to triple to annual reductions of 6 percent to reach the 2030 target,” said @GermanEnvAgency head @DirkMessner

OBR: Cost of UK energy bill relief is "one of the highest in Europe", in part bc UK is so reliant on gas for heat & power

Windfall taxes of £40bn will only recoup half the £78bn in UK energy support, OBR says

China took a wholistic approach to financing development in Africa. Providing financing for infrastructure development for mining projects to be economically viable. Once mining project are economic viable then China provides further financing to mining projects.

[energy.resources @ResourcesEnergy]

China "Debt Trap" infrastructure policies are a result of the west unwillingness to engage.🧵

[energy.resources @ResourcesEnergy]

"Debt trap" in Africa is nothing new, huge sums are still owed by Africa to the West, including former colonial powers who once controlled much of the continent. ~50 percent of Africa's debt is owed to Western commercial bond markets and multilateral agencies.

[energy.resources @ResourcesEnergy]

The West are not giving loans to Africa, China steps in. How can the West complained? The West did the sa,e thing in the past ? With huge sums still owed to the West, who controled the continent in the past

[energy.resources @ResourcesEnergy]

The West reduced their infrastructure financing, creating a void that China stepped into fill. China saw the gap and decided to put their money in infrastructure. Financed by loans provided to China.

[energy.resources @ResourcesEnergy]

China decided to finance both infrastructure and mining projects, taking a more holistic approach to project development. While the West only look to finance projects on a case by case basis.

@josuenergy @DrSimEvans @e3g because renewables are just not reliable and economical solution.
