I've long been of the opinion that what's been happening in recent years represents almost the perfect storm brewing and what we have is a situation where an error of judgement or irrational act by Putin, Erdogan, Netanyahu Obama or whoever could set off a chain of events that ends in major conflict.
The relative (and mortgaged) 'prosperity' enjoyed amongst the major nations within and without Europe has been masking a whole lot of simmering tensions and now things are getting a lot tougher in all sorts of ways I wouldn't be surprised if things come to a very nasty head in the not too distant future.
Anyway, hopefully I'm wrong and it'll all peter out but that's the main reason I've put off buying my solar panels...
