This wiki collects information about an energy embargo to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Our aim is to improve public discussion, which is plagued by multiple fallacies well known from past debates (climate change, renewable energy etc.). In particular, scientific studies and quantitative analyses are criticized or even dismissed due to their inherent uncertainty, which is misinterpreted as "inaccuracy". At the same time, these studies are contrasted with anti-embargo opinions, which are based on gut feelings or non-transparent "expert assessment", and often expressed by individuals with obvious conflict of interest. Furthermore, the costs of action (embargo) are compared with the status quo and pre-war economic forecasts, thereby falsely assuming the costs of inaction would be zero.
