Sweden, home of TLGs graphite mine(s)

There is probably a million appeals to the port.. it will make traditional reindeer ice skating ballet impossible in the region. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get operational within the next 20 years... Sigh.. I know, I know.

They also seem to hope that it now starts.

"The village languishes while waiting for the graphite: ‘Shame when people come’​

Years of decay, right in the center of the village. Now the villagers want to see the abandoned houses come to life. "It is a disgrace to the village and stops the village's development," says Ann-Katrin Lindblom in Vittangi.

A plank has been nailed for a hole in one of the doors of Gamla Gästi, Vittangi's former inn. In recent years, the house has been used as refugee accommodation, but now it has been empty for a few years.

The rain hits the windshield as we roll up to the red-painted shack. "Taxi" is written in large letters on the short side of the property. A memory of the venue's former area of use, before it got a new owner. The last time there was activity here was in connection with the refugee crisis almost ten years ago, when Sweden would open its hearts and homes to people who left their homelands..." rbPW

"Fertilizer factory postponed​

November 12, 2024
Luleå
Spanish Fertiberia planned to invest SEK 20 billion in a new fertilizer factory in Luleå. According to the original plans, the production of fossil-free fertilizer was supposed to start in 2026, but now the project is being postponed without a planned start year, writes Dagens Industri.

Fertiberias plans to build an artificial fertilizer factory in Luleå in collaboration with Lantmännen and the Swedish gas company Nordion.
The project includes the production of hydrogen in connection with the hydropower plant in Letsi in Jokkmokk municipality, and a 170-mile long gas pipeline from Letsi to Luleå.
One of the reasons for the postponement of the project, which is now called Power 2 Earth, is that the company has not received the power allocation of electric power needed for hydrogen production. Therefore, it may be the case that you start on a smaller scale and gradually expand production.
The company needs 4-5 terawatt hours of electricity, which is as much as LKAB needs for its sponge iron plant in Gällivare."

It's proving to be a hard nut to crack this Hydrogen/ fertiliser business... extremely energy intensive.

The only reason Germany is hooked to Hydrogen cars/transport is, because the hydrogen is produced using natural gas. Its not "green". Thats why is pushed by the powerful, they dont care about climate while simultaneously lying into our pockets. What happens when you actually want to have green hydrogen by splitting water using power.. well, you can see it here. The project dies because it uses too much power. Sad to see.

"99 percent of the world's hydrogen is "grey"
...
This makes the provision of green hydrogen all the more important - although this would be an extremely costly endeavour. The European Union alone is planning to spend up to 470 billion euros on green hydrogen by 2050. Moving the whole world in the same direction would cost at least twice as much."

'Grey' is too nice. Green hydrogen is a myth until power is so abundant that we can just split water with it for storage and transport. It will happen at some point, Tony Sebas argument makes a lot of sense to me. But at the current power infrastructure, no matter how much the EU spends on it, it's a pork barrel for the oil and gas industry and nothing else. It's wasted money if I am generous and money spend on destroying the environment in reality.

Totally agree.. and some think the entire world's air travel industry will run on it in the next few decades as well, good luck with that! At the current technological level for making it, it doesn't seem to stack up. I could see one possible path forward and that would be an AI driven lightning quick advance in nuclear fusion .. where you have a hydrogen producing facility powered by it's own tokomak! But there again I think this is still stuff of science fiction for now and I certainly won't live to see it.. I would love a crystal ball to see how this all pans out.. I'd possibly find a couple of good stock market bets with it while I was at it.. lol

We need a fraction of their electricity and ours is guaranteed.

Infrastructure
I mentioned it. An absolutely important thing for us here is the southern link (Südlink).
Thanks to plaintiffs, it will cost more than 10 to 15 times as much and take more than 4 times as long.
Of course, the petrol countries will ensure that we use 3 times as much plastic in the coming years. Are we going to buy it or not?
When it comes to practical climate protection, I see the practical opponents in the practical implementation in another camp that we know very well, whether here or there.

e.g.
The former head of BUND just laughed at the practice of slowing down the court and rise costs. Yes, that we do or did (nuclear power the biggest example). First drive up the costs and then point out that it is too expensive. I remember how proud they were to have driven up the costs for the removal to €280m in just one quarter. This could be used to build 40 newly built kindergardens including plot and perfectly equipped for the coming decades.
How proud they were of that. Today they can say - it's too expensive and doesn't pay off. But alternatives are also too expensive, obviously. So it's a stalemate. Brake.

I think the old narratives are no longer true.
Capitalism is evil and the enemy of the green transition when it comes to practical implementation of the demands.
Who are blocking practically any of that projects?
I better leave it now.
