Russia got it right.. In comparison Trumps Drill baby Drill cant happen without massive energy infrastructure development such as electric transmission and NG pipe lines much of which is in poor repair resulting in higher utility bills for years to come.
Then there is the massive energy requirements for Jumpstarting Trump grandiose re-development of American industrial manufacturing base and the now new planned nuclear mega power stations for AI.
Its all hyperbole considering todays Net Zero carbon restrictions mandates and years of neglect in domestic energy planning and bureaucratic red tape all of which are huge obstacles in obtaining today's energy needs that could be met through nuclear or NG or both.
Unfortunately due to political polarization america is still currently in deadlock and in a dismal predicament in comparison to what is happening around the world.
The development of technologies for recovery of more problematic deposits is interesting, and forward thinking. Instead of waiting for depletion there's a clear program of diversification, and development and evaluation projects. Clearly both Russia and China have well developed nuclear technology, and countries that aren't beholden to the US can take advantage of what works best.
Thank you for this post. I appreciate the details and the work required to produce it. It appears that Russia has a longer (20+ years) and more comprehensive planning regime than the west does.
But, I do have a serious concern. Fossil fuel deposits are finite, and while the US and Russia have abundant production of oil and gas, those reserves aren't going to last forever. US oil production is probably near the peak and gas is probably only a decade behind. Russian oil and gas have a few decades on the west before peaking. Both have at least a century, probably more, of coal production.
But, sooner or later, the fossil fuels will run out. And, before that happens, they will run low and start putting strain on the economy. The US has decided to ignore this problem. Do you have any sense of how Russia is approaching it?
Ummm... Fuck the climate, right. It's the BURNING of fossil fuels that's the problem🤦♀️ And fossil fuels are running out. There's no such thing as green or renewable energy. Modern life, as we know it, is UNSUSTAINABLE. Nothing will change that reality.
Despite the propaganda about gallant little Ukraine destroying Russia's energy industry, it appears to be going strong. It is almost a model of how to conduct and implement long term energy development.
Energy is the foundation of a modern industrial or even post-industrial nation and society. A concept forgotten by those in thrall to the Green religion. Without energy you are back to the middle ages. And expensive and unrelaible energy simply creates an almost insurmountable competetive disadvantage. Just ask Germany. Mr T has changed tack in the USA, but who is to say a future POTUS won't change it back to the economy killing Biden policies? Meanwhile Europe continues to sacrifice its properity on the alter of Gaia.

Well, some countries in Europe are talking about opening back up Nordstream II
In other words, parts of Europe's energy planning horizon is at most 2 years
Time for a song with the refrain:
"Oh, when will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn?"
