Another macro trend that shows a rough road for Russia is renewable energy is making serious moves, for the first time surpassing gas for electrical production. As EVs take over India and China, gas station Russia will be all but closed for business. You can't tell overpopulated, polluted India not to switch to clean, quiet electromagnetic propulsion. Therefor, Russia has destroyed its own financial potential and is burning its rainy day reserves for no reason whatsoever. Also known as stupid and unwise.
