Thank you again and again. Why is there no outcry about Grossi kissing the Russian killers ? Nobody talks about it.

Because 'the spice must flow'.

See: because of greed and profit.

Thanks Don and Tom. Konstantin Samoilov was overseeing construction of power plants until he fled Russia. He said the withdrawal of Siemens from RU is a looming catastrophe. I hope they continue this hard line and don't bring in emergency repair crews on the grounds of resetting relations with Russia *ahem*, sorry I meant on humanitarian grounds.

So there were rolling blackouts of 12 hours in Moscow during January - March 2024? Did you even tried to verify this nonsense posting of a Ukrainian account?

I was a bit surprised to read about the need to synchronize the Ukrainian power grid to the rest of the European grid. That implies AC power connectors. If they used a high voltage DC interconnect, they could run each grid to its own frequency

Thank you! I am aware of the export situation with Kyrgyzstan for a while now, but am yet to see the top western politicians address it. It makes me super mad. The whole topic of evasions of sanctions really needs a lot more focus!
