The most humbling direct conversation I have had since Feb 24 was with @AKamyshin this summer trying to deliver assistance to Ukraine with @UkrainesGrains project.
I failed 🇺🇦spearheading a project larger than one person can do.
When will Ukrainian & American influencers listen?
The same person that blocked me from talking and amplifying Ukrainian energy sector and their needs since April - Walter Lehk!
Who’s still advocating and amplifying Ukraine’s energy sector, their challenges and needs?
Me
When I was deciding whether to hop on a plane to go to Europe and Ukraine (to help best I could), I was being gaslight & doxxed for not amplifying ‘Ukrainian Voices’ to the satisfaction of supposed ‘Voices of Ukraine’.
Guess who’s no longer around?
Alona
And who is?
Me
Why operate behind anonymous handle?
Who I am & how good/crappy my personal life is, matters not.
It won’t move the needle in 🇺🇦’s favor.
It won’t restore the power grid in 🇺🇦
It won’t change the fact I’m just an average 🇺🇸helping 🇺🇦with knowledge/intel others don’t supply.

Excluding the Hungarian 750kV connection as #Orban is a dick, there is the PL 750kV.
This should be 2,000 MW import capacity.
Repair & protect with everything available.
Replaces need for 400,000 five (5) kW generators like in the photo.
This should help explain how valuable & critical the large substation transformers are Russia is destroying.
If transformers were a navy asset, they are like a battleship. Protect at all costs even though they only do 1 one thing, but are irreplaceable in that role.
An entire year offline on a 40-year plant, that's 2.5% lost in lifetime capacity factor. French NPPs are no American NPPs on CF, but gonna hurt those ivory tower gen tech stats.
If you're in the industry, you'd know French NPPs were used against EU wind & solar deployments.
So, while 🇺🇦 NPPs were being occupied; cut off from the grid; heroically trying to produce energy for a country at war; & sell electricity into the EU electric market in crisis, most nuclear advocates were screaming over a few NPPs slated to be closed in 🇩🇪&🦗🦗on🇫🇷 NPPs offline.
