It doesn’t mean squat if the prices are not affordable. It’s not good news until then (for me at least).

Current energy costs are not due to transition to a different source.

> A 100% renewable 24/7 is not possible right
Not currently possible doesn't mean completely unattainable, once high volume energy storage has gotten good enough there's no reason we wouldn't be able to go 100% renewable basically everywhere.

The eventual transition is a no brainer given the cost savings of renewables compared to fossil fuels. The Ukrainian war just accelerated it to reduce European reliance on Russian fossil fuels. It's a big upfront capital investment for Europe but they will be in an enviable position going forward when they don't have to rely as much on fossil fuels and their price volatility. I also wonder what it will mean for internal growth and investment. Rather than continually spending tens of billions of Euros in the international fossil fuel market, they will be keeping much of those expenditures and reinvesting it elsewhere. I'm curious to see the long term effect of that.

This could be great news! Pancreatic cancer is a particularly nasty disease, with a roughly 95% fatality rate.

You know damn well it's gonna be expensive. They might make it cheaper than gas just to get the point of being cheaper but there is no way they won't get rich out of this if it becomes the standard.

No, in favor of renewables. No new coal plant is being built.
Stop the bullshit.

America's not actually that far behind Europe. In 2022 Europe was using more fossil fuels than America due to the surge in coal use. Most countries are expected to reduce their fossil fuels in 2023 because there's an expectation of a bubble pop.

I think they were referring to a hyperdrive from science fiction, i.e. faster-than-light travel

Why would 100% renewable not be possible?
Target is exactly that. 100% renewable in 2035.

This is a little left field, but as coal becomes less mainstream, what happens to the price of coal. Does a decreasing market, raise or lower prices per ton?
