Right now Moldova is being prepped to take the role of Ukraine once it’s exhausted. Articles like these are an instance of a disinformation campaign it accuses the other side is doing.

Renewables are currently only fossil fuel multipliers. Mining, transport, high temperature industrial processes and 24/7 industrial processes can’t be run on variable electricity sources, especially expensive ones with borderline EROEI.

And, of course, if we’d get the cheap abundant magic energy sources we would just reach resource exhaustion and ecosystem crash even sooner.
