Depends on whether you include the costs of funding a totalitarian state's war efforts in your calculation. In other words: Usually decades, faster with rising energy prices, even faster when accounting for externalities.
Under such accounting, you would also need to avoid sourcing your blades and turbines from totalitarian China, which is emerging as the leading manufacturer.
Shrug. I’ll take Chinese turbines over Russian oil any day
Suppose China invades Taiwan. Suppose their turbines are assembled using slave labor. In my opinion, we need to incentivize China to clean up its act, not reward them for reprehensible behavior.
Sure. But I’ll still take Chinese turbines over Russian oil any day.
Meanwhile we are using devices to type on HN that use that same slave labor from a totalitarian state. Why is it energy we draw the line but not the latest iPhone or the chips in our alarm clocks.
Yes.
This is Germany, they made themselves dependent on energy from Russia, why not from China? What can be worse, North Korea?
There are zero Goldwind based turbines in Germany. ENERCON, Nordex, Vestas, Siemens Gamesa all the things!
