Let's build our energy system around a brittle supply chain where we are the last link, requires complex refrigeration and transport of a toxic substance around the entire planet while dealing with unstable geopolitics and still pollute at least as much as coal. Liquefied natural gas.

Because the sun and the wind are too unreliable and expensive.

Apparently that makes sense.

@pezmico completely insane and irresponsible.
I keep seeing more and more articles how the EU regrets moving to LNG and the dependence on the US that comes with that, and we just pretend none of this matters 🙈🙉🙊

@pezmico The media aren't talking about the unstable geopolitics much, but this is right up there with the critical minerals takeover...Trump is using tariffs as leverage to force open markets for LNG.
