The European Economy is about to collapse

as they freeze their balls off this winter.
glowing in the self reflection of listening to a 13 year old autistic girl from sweden on their energy and climate policies...

If we started producing oil again, we could sell to Europe and pay off our national debt.

@hippyjoe1955 says Oh, I see your confusion!! You've got Russia & Ukraine backwards!!!

The last TWO Ukrainians governments have won popular elections.

Putin, however, was installed by the successor to the KGB and is kept in power by a series of murders via poisoning, defenestration, and explosions.

Maybe china will allow joe to help them

Good thing I have my hat:

I don't think it will collapse.
Rather, I think it will go through an extremely difficult period, at the very least a recession of the magnitude of the Great Depression of 1929-33.
There is a chance of World War III arising out of the Ukrainian situation. If Putin uses a nuclear bomb, I am certain that NATO would retaliate in kind: mutually assured destruction, which would likely mean a nuclear winter of at least two years. Europe and the USA are trying to use every means they can to prevent that possibility. But Putin is serious and pathological enough to not care about the obliteration caused by a nuclear strike.

However, whoever survives would eventually and with great struggle and suffering, rebuild. I'm feel sure that the European countries would want to remain as a union, and would embrace union with any neighbours who wanted to join them.
Given the population and power of countries the size of China, India and the USA, forming a union of states is the only way for Europe to survive.
I imagine one day the ASIAN countries will form a similar block, and so will Africa and South America.

That's if any of us survive global warming.

I'm a little puzzled why you suggest it's the west's fault that there is war in Ukraine. Didn't Russia start the war by invading Ukraine? Isn't it Russia that cut supplies to Europe? I don't really understand your logic.
I think there are other questions. How far will Russia's economy teeter before someone acts who isn't thrown out of a hospital window?

Environmental fanaticism is killing Europe. Either buy oil from Russia or freeze. Nice move, Europe. "Save the planet! How dare you!"

Europe has just earmarked more than $350 billion to subsidize consumers, industry and utility companies. There will be no economic collapse.

'No Electricity from Nuclear' ...... more bullshit from you ;

"As of August 2022 there is a total of 171 nuclear power plant units with an installed electric net capacity of 154,136 MWe in operation in Europe"

@Ozuye502 says

That was briefly true of the industry as a whole in 2010 during a period of rapid growth in solar manufacturing. But it's completely FALSE regarding current solar panel manufacturing. And it's FALSE regarding per panel economics.

"Though the answer is highly variable, in general terms, it takes about 200kWh to create a 100-watt solar panel."

"One hundred watts x 10 hours of direct sunlight per day = 1000 watts of energy per day. 1000 × 365 days per year = 365kWh of energy per year."

Thus the typical solar panel in a typical installation pays its full energy cost within the first year of use.

West pushing for war?

Last I checked putin invaded ukraine,

You do realize that it takes more energy tp make 1 solar panel than it will ever produce? The idea is great but the technology isn't efficient yet as far as nuclear power goes i agree.

Really scary times. There aren't any real leaders in the world that are in office. The last days are really near.

I believe it is Russia pushing for war in Ukraine.

Plenty of North Sea oil & gas production workers will be shocked to learn that these platforms no longer exist!!

This is Russias Doing

Remember when Germany were claiming they could run the whole country on solar by 2025?

Good, europeans are a colossol bunch of morons
