  • The combined risk of posthumanity pollution and catastrophic failures makes it a no-go for a risk averse society. Germany is spatially a comparably small country with high population density, there is not really a place where you easily can say no one lives here for the next thousands of years.

    La Hague and Sellafield are or were places of necessary production chain segments with high pollution danger and history.

    Zaporishja shows how dangerous centralised power production can be.

    PV and wind energy were politically advocated for in Germany (California as well btw) before they were cheap and mass produced and efficient, even or especially against nuclear energy.

    Austria actually is somewhat of a success story with a similar history.















  • I think the Russian Empire will not give away expensively conquered land and people to basically a political vassal who is a member in a concurrent political entity and system. Today’s Political Hungary might have powerful aspirations, but it’s current actual power is somewhat limited to a gatekeeper (migration, military aid, energy flows) since Hungary is not a big entity like the USA, Russia, China or the EU as a whole.

    I wonder how much the situation would compare to a hypothetical scenario where Texas would hold trade talks with China.
