Subject: Re: How Europe wrecked itself
However, Europe's economy is doing fine (see links in my previous post).

Europe's economy is far from "fine". Barely 1% growth sucks. As noted in the article:
-They can't build data centers
-They're paying 80% more for electricity than the US or China
-Residents are rationing power
-Businesses are shutting down due to a lack of electricity

That's not a rosy picture, at all.

Laying the blame entirely on renewables is dishonest, or at least deliberately incomplete.

Nope. Not even close as you're forgetting Net Zero *and* the unrealistic promises they made. Solar and wind are heavily dependent on location. They don't work in some places in the winter.

They deliberately shut off their old sources before they built out their "new" infrastructure. Nobody told Germany to idle several of their nuclear plants, for example. The "bbbut Russia" is a red herring.

Guess whose energy costs are among the lowest in Europe? Hungary's. Nothing to do with renewables.

Exactly. Because they never switched their economy over to unreliable sources of power.
