Fair, but my point is that whatever the names and political divisions that take hold in the aftermath of russia collapsing from its catastrophic failure in the Ukraine War, the landscape and people are desperately going to need to rebuild energy infrastructure at a time that investment is going to be pretty hard to come by I imagine, out of pure necessity many people in former russian territory will be forced to turn to solar power and alternative energy to rebuild a decentralized grid. In the end I guess it will be a tiny silver lining, but I don't think it will happen because culturally russia comes around to thinking green energy is important.

I think it will surprise people how quickly solar grows in places like russia though, in unfortunately many industrialized parts of the world not thrown apart by war there is an active denial politically and culturally that alternative energy/solar is just cheaper the fossil fuels no matter how you feel about them, places like the shattered former russian territories will have no choice but to admit that in action if not in words.

Yes, sorry, I failed to mention this is a great idea, I think. Not really obvious at first, but there’s no real alternative anyway. Vast territories would make a pretty decent space for solar and wind.
