    Building energy production to export even more electricity is surely very profitable and also good for the environment.

    I remember the winter 1 or 2 years ago when we exported a fuck ton electricity and apparently our clean electricity displaced enough foreign dirty electricity to reduce the carbon footprint by as much as Sweden annually carbon footprint from cars.

      No denying that there are positives, but geopolitically we can’t have Berlin on it’s knees just because Kremlin had a Chinese cargo ship drag it’s anchor half way across the Baltic sea. That’s a no go for an independent Europe.

        Yeah, but we should still build more renewable energy production and obviously more resilient and redundant energy infrastructure.
