Poll: Are there issues with the supply of cooking gas or petroleum products in your area due to on going #war ?

[trzyglow@mastodon.social]

@nixCraft price shot up, but there's no shortage atm.

I was looking at Renewable energy page and found the list of countries by renewable supply:

1 China
2 USA
3 Brazil
4 Canada
5 India
6 Germany
7 Japan
8 Russia
9 Norway
10 Spain
11 France
12 United Kingdom
13 Turkey
14 Vietnam
15 Italy

I think it is high time to double down on renewable energy for cooking and transportation, heating/cooling and to get rid of the old oil based economy. I hope our policy maker move ahead with all available alt options.

@nixCraft in the future when oil runs out the countries who have invested the most in renewable energy will rule the world and will own the energy supply chain.

[rpluim@mastodon.social]

@joonq @nixCraft Initially, maybe. But nothing stops other countries from adding more renewable capacity, so it would be a short-lived advantage.

@nixCraft I would have guessed UK would have been a little bit higher given how much Scotland produces. It's not that we will run out of oil, I think it'll be the fact that the renewables will be so much cheaper very soon

@nixCraft

I'm hoping the war lights a fire under their asses, and renewable builds accelerate. Ignoring all the other good reasons to move away from burning old carbon, maintaining autonomy and resilience should be immediately obvious.

@nixCraft I assume that "cooking gas" is natural gas?

[ajcain@mathstodon.xyz]

@nixCraft The per-country share of energy consumption from renewable resources (as opposed to absolute production figures) is also worth a look: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/renewable-share-energy

@nixCraft Misses a "I really have no idea, because all my shit's electric"

[radhitya@navi.lain.day]

@nixCraft You missed 'i just want to know the results'

Other than gasoline going up 50 cents just this week, "no".

I have a solar array that, annually, accounts for about 56% of my home's energy needs (though, now probably down to 52% since we got an EV that we mostly use for running errands). However, since I don't have a battery and the house isn't configured for island mode, if there's an outage, my panels shut off.

[jago@mementomori.social]

@larsmb @nixCraft Yeah, natgas in domestic use is not really a thing in Finland and in our household house heating is with wood fireplaces and wind source electricity and both cars are electric.

I would really have to answer "I have no fucking clue".
