With war raging in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, there is a renewed concern in many quarters for “energy independence.” Until recently, the sophisticated countries of Europe had thought the whole idea to be passé.


They built large numbers of wind turbines and solar arrays, while simultaneously banning fracking for natural gas and shuttering electricity plants that used coal and even those that used no-carbon nuclear.

The alternative sources supply only 20% of the power in this country, most of that is hydro.

You could cover this country with solar panels and windmills and it wouldn't be near enough, nor would it be reliable. There are places like Seattle where the sun hardly shines, and like Florida where the wind barely blows.

If this were to be come a reality, most people would be in a permanent cycle brown or blackouts, and forget a manufacturing base.
