      Yep the EU will be beholden to a dictatorial regime again. Instead of placating Putin for gas it will be Xi for solar panels and batteries.

      Europeans demolished their manufacturing sector when they stripped all the wiring out of the walls during the austerity years.

      You can’t blame people for buying foreign when you’ve been defunding domestic infrastructure for over a decade.

      You’re either an astroturfer or useful idiot spreading oil lobby talking points.

      Either you believe the climate science or you don’t. If you do, you know that we don’t have time for industry protectionism.

        Do not assume bad faith over anything you disagree with.

        While I disagree with the original statement, hostility never changed anyone’s mind.

            What you’re doing is called “making shit up”. If you have a problem with their talking point then address it, but don’t make shit up about who they are or why they’re saying what they’re saying.

              As in the way you’re accusing me of “making shit up,” just because you’re not aware of decades of lobbying and astroturfing efforts by the fossil fuel industry against nuclear?

      By providing big subsidies to green energy developement. Something the EU could also have done but refused to. And so they lost their entire lead.

        Something the EU could also have done but refused to

        But they did - there were massive subsidy programs, that ultimately were so successful, that were phased out due to financial stress they put on the budget

      If EU wants to compete they’re welcome to utilize the same style of subsidies that enabled China to produce these so cheaply.
