Energy Dependence

Even the most stupid person in the world can on occasion say something that is correct. That's what happened last week when the Trump shitbrain said that it was ridiculous that Germany was increasing even more its dependence on Russian Gas. For sure that's a very correct statement, though one could wonder why a Putin lover and Europe hater like the Trump asshole would care about such undesirable dependence. For the biggest enemy of Europe (along with Russia and the Islamists) the weaker Europe is the better... Well, Trump is just a psychopathic megalomaniac piece of shit that can say one thing and its contrary with just the seconds difference needed to tweet his brain farts...

This increased German dependence (that unfortunately applies to other Western European countries) on Russian gas is related to the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline that will go under the Baltic Sea directly from Russia to Germany. There's already a Nord Stream gas pipeline doing the same, so this will further increase the already worrying European reliance on Russian gas. Depending on Russia is as castastrophic as depending on Islamist countries, indeed, it's even worse. Golf countries are invading Europe by educating and funding Islamists that live or will live here, but this is a relatively slow invasion that we still could easily fight if we had the bollocks to do it (massive deportation of binational Islamists, for life incarceration for the others, and capital punishment for those with links to terrorism). On the other side, if Russia decides to military invade the Baltic or Nordic countries, fighting back would be quite more complicated. Russia is our enemy both in a geopolitical sense and in a cultural sense (while Western Europe is supposed to represent freedom, equality and opennes, Russia stands for ultra-nationalism, conservadurism, racism, homophobia...) and being fully aware of this is essential for the survival of Europe as we know it.

This article gives a pretty good insight of how dangerous this new pipeline is:

If it is built, the EU would become extremely dependent on a single gas supplier - Gazprom, an entity under the full control of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Europe already imports 39 percent of its gas from Russia. After NS2, 80 percent of Russian gas imports would be concentrated in one route. In Germany itself, the share of Russian gas would increase from 40 percent to 60 percent.

Beyond Germany, 12 EU member states depend on Russia for 75 percent or more of their gas. After NS2, the level of their dependence would also go up.

Natural gas is supposed to be a bit cleaner than other fossil fuels, but does its slightly smaller environmental effect justify to keep us as slaves of Fascist or Islamo-Fascist states like Russia or Qatar???
The answer is a big NO for me, so:

For sure Europe needs to continue to invest on renovable energies (which clearly involves the somehow despised and forgotten HydroElectric power) but until the illusory day when they can fullfill all our needs, we'll have to continue to burn Polish cheap coal and leverage nuclear power.
