Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

The solutions have been on the table since 2014, now that the invasion has happened, I think it's too late. Bitter realization, I know. You have to bite the bullet and force Ukraine and Russia to negotiate. Ukraine will have to cede part of its land and give up NATO membership; in return, the Russians must cease all military actions. Of course, no one likes to hear this; it hurts because the Ukrainians have a right to independence and to live in freedom. But the Ukrainian government under Zelensky is also a really bad gang. They have nothing to do with democracy and humanity either. The population is choosing between the plague and cholera.

Then there remains the question of how to ensure security permanently. Definitely put the Americans in their place; they have no business in Ukraine at all.

That could be one possibility. But here my expertise is by far not enough to give a prospect of success. Right now I feel more like I'm at the regulars' table.

Oh dear, the usual populist nonsense. Exactly how do you want to "force" Ukraine and Russia to negotiate? Especially into a negotiation whose outcome you practically want to dictate already. :D Oh God, that's so ridiculous.

Ok, so for Bookstar it is the Greens who are to blame, who since 2014 with their politics have let the cat out of the bag.

I wonder how it would have turned out if they had been in government?

What I find very positive, however, is that the pub talk feeling is coming up for you.
Now only the right conclusions and solution proposals are missing.

Where can you find the negative information about the government of Ukraine?
The most exciting would be from before the war.

Ah, and lastly, what are your tips for China and Taiwan?
Not that you then can only complain when it is too late.

You are still forgetting an important point. The infrastructure also has to be expanded. That means, if more people start installing photovoltaic systems now, it must be ensured that they can also feed in energy and not have to reduce their feed-in amount because the lines can’t "handle" it.

I agree with you, expansion is absolutely necessary. Additionally, I assume that through bidirectional charging and home storage, peak loads can be buffered in the future. I can well imagine that in a few years, when the first electric cars are retired, a secondary market for used car batteries will emerge, which will then be used as home storage.

That sounds more like a slogan of endurance to me, because your idea sounds pretty naive. If the Chinese and Indians knew about this... ;-) The demand for energy sources will not be less, only if the Germans give up on it

A change of mindset will also take place in these countries in the coming years. Anyone who has been to Mumbai knows how high the pollutant levels are in the air there and what health damage this causes to the working-age population. There are still enough people coming from the villages as laborers...

And here we come to the next point. Are these economies so strong that they can live entirely from the domestic market, or are they dependent on exports? If the second point is true, then they will adjust their production conditions in the coming years. Customers outside these markets are increasingly placing emphasis on sustainability. Companies that do not keep up will sooner or later experience sales problems.

Oil producers like the UAE share this opinion and have been transforming their economy for about two decades to become independent of the oil trade. At the same time, large projects are being implemented to reduce the CO2 footprint and become climate neutral. They certainly are not doing this for fun or frivolity or because, according to media reports, their oil reserves have supposedly been consistently depleted for about 40 years. Strange that this number has remained constant for years...

One more thing about renewable energies: Europe’s oldest large-scale photovoltaic system is located in Tessin and was installed there in 1982. It still generates electricity and retains 80% of its original performance. A modern photovoltaic module in our latitudes recovers the amount of energy required for its production after about 1 1/2 years. Once built, it still produces a good amount of electricity after 40 years without tons of oil/gas having to be transported over thousands of kilometers by pipelines/ships/trucks and then being burned with poor efficiency.

Name me a reason why it should be more sensible to transport an energy source like oil or gas over thousands of kilometers and then burn it with poor efficiency instead of producing the required amount of energy directly on-site.

Oh dear, the usual populist nonsense. How exactly do you want to "force" Ukraine and Russia to negotiate? Especially into a negotiation whose outcome you basically want to predetermine. :D Oh God, that's so ridiculous.

Almost every war is ended at the negotiating table. Do you have better solution proposals? Do you really think Ukraine can win militarily? Do you really think the sanctions are effective? Should NATO attack Russia and escalate the war?

What I think does not matter. You are not answering my question: How do you want to force both into negotiations, whose outcome you have already determined? I am really curious about your answer. If you cannot answer the question, your entire line of thought is worthless.

1. Whether negotiations take place or not should be decided by Ukraine and not the USA and certainly not by you.
2. Russia has declared its goals. Do you really believe that Ukraine will just give up its territory because Russia wants it that way? Would you hand over your house/property to your neighbor without resistance just because he outnumbers you 10 to 1? Or would you rather seek external help?
3. It will clearly be decided at the negotiating table, but under military pressure. Russia will eventually realize that the war is too costly or Putin will be overthrown. Only then will people sit down at the negotiating table.
