In 2007 at Munich Putin aired his grievances. It marked his move away from cooperation to opposition with the West. Everyone became an adversary. Subsequently he has strengthened his domestic control. But isolation is costly.

It’s a real problem. When traveling internationally as an American these days you must anticipate safety threats and always be aware of your environment.
I recommend these iron-on protective devices. They’re cheap and simple.

I fear the goal is a society where women are honored only for their role as mothers in support of the state.
In Germany it took 4 kids to be honored. Stalin was more demanding and 7 earned the Order of Maternal Glory.

This is an example of how France uses its nuclear fleet to balance load. Not utilizing 100% of nuclear capacity is costly. But it is doable and this deliberate profile doesn’t imply 25% availability that’s day - as his analysis infers.

Here’s Lazard’s recent estimates but this “firming” is really just accommodating diurnal variation. It does not include the cost of seasonal variations. Lots of work happening on storage to improve this though.

You can’t directly control demand for fossil fuels. People will not tolerate energy shortages. You must focus on deployment of non-fossil sources. Those industries continue to ramp.
As of 2024 we’ve now topped 2TW of solar. But it’s the trend that matters.

I can’t talk to other tech but what’s happening in enhanced geothermal is pretty “spectacular” in terms of rapidly increasing productivity.

The state offers insurance of a last resort under the FAIR program. It’s ballooned in the last few years as insurers appreciate more risk and back out of the market. Recent regulatory changes are designed to encourage insurers to underwrite again.
