I'm sorry, but you are mistaken!
Of the entire seemingly vast territory of Russia, approximately 30% are inhabited. And this is mostly "before the Urals", where the conditions are quite acceptable. Uncomfortable - this is forever frozen, the north-east of the country, etc. regions. I myself was born and lived in Novosibirsk. Yes, the winter is colder than, for example, in central Europe, but not "impossible for life." But in the summer it is quite good and people quietly grew vegetables in their gardens.
Well, and most importantly, the Russian government does not make plans to use these territories, except as a primitive extraction of resources. For example, Taiga was given to China for uncontrolled deforestation. out of 100 conventionally "civilized territories", most households are not supplied with gas, there is no normal sewage system and other solutions familiar to a normal person.
Well, my friend, since you are from Russia, you must know more than me about the nature of the climate in Russia and the possibility of using clean energy. I only have general information about the nature of the climate in Russia, so I expected that the cold there prevails throughout the year and solar energy cannot be used.
It is good that solar energy can be used in the summer, but what about the winter there? Is it possible to benefit from solar energy or other clean energy?
Are you serious ?
No offense - study the climatic map of the territories where 99% of the population of Russia will live. You will be surprised, quite a lot. Expectations of "strong winters", with frosts below minus 40 degrees - this does not apply in the European (outland) part. Yes, sometimes they do, but it's not a big part of the year and not even a significant part of the year!
About solar energy - there is a separate chattya here, and there it is about solar energy, and there I wrote answers based on personal experience of studying the topic, in preparation for building my house. In cold climates - solar panels work just better, they have higher efficiency. Therefore, the ideal conditions for solar energy are cold sunny climates. Yes, in the far north there is a problem of short daylight hours, so the solution is not very suitable.
And the European part of Russia is quite a Central European weather, with enough sun.
