Germany approves bringing coal-fired power plants back online this winte

So Germany is going back to using global warming inducing coal to replace global warming inducing natural gas. I'm guessing they were using global warming inducing fossil fuels because solar and wind energy just ain't cutting it.

When in doubt, go back to what has worked for over 100 years.

 

Remind me again where Germany gets most of their natural gas from.
No chance that could have something to do with it? Maybe?

 

So fossil are best choice..

 

People can only kid themselves so long, in this case GLOBAL COOLING made them wise the fk up

 

What, they don't have wind and sunlight in Germany?

 

So neither one of you want to answer the question of where they get their natural gas?
Not surprising.

 

They get it from mother Russia, AND they were warned about it too

AND here is the fun part

AINT THAT BITCH lmfao

 

They don't even have coal, that's the funniest part

 

Germany is assisting Ukraine win a war against a country that had the ability to starve Germany.

 

Oh, you are going all REALITY. That will never work in today's land of the lost

 

Ok, so the original article says they're going on line with the coal plants and you say they have zero coal. What's wrong with this picture.
Sorry, BB, I think you got this one wrong. They'll get it somewhere.

 

who said wind and energy was anywhere near ready to replace 100% of our energy needs?

Energy diversity, my friend, the more energy diverse you are the better, it allows you to run off other energy sources if a shortage in one

 

which shows why Energy Diversity is needed

 

Every lib who wanted to shut down pipelines, oil production, coal mining, nuke power, and natural gas,

Do you regret your post?

 

which comes here via trucks, the right wanted to kill these truckers jobs, the right hates truckers I guess

 

Say what?

 

The wind and solar plants aren't going to be shut down. These coal power plants are just the last pieces of the puzzle.
But go ahead and pretend it's the entire puzzle. lol

 

I don't have a problem with this. Fossil fuel use should be reduced or phased out where possible, but not regardless of circumstance. If the choice is fossil fuels or people freezing in the winter, you choose the former. Then when spring comes, you phase them back out again until needed.

This is how you do things rationally instead of adhering to some predefined set of guidelines that don't address the actual situation.

 

Puzzle

In this case, without this piece of the PUZZLE people freeze and die

 

I know. Except it's not like this is the only piece as some like to pretend... as if all electricity in Germany already was coming from solar energy / wind turbines.

the puzzle by the way:

 

You're right, just a critical means of power, heat and comfort.

 

I generally agree but I am not sure that they are really addressing the situation effectively. Plus, their electric rates continue to climb

It's all critical. And it looks like solar and wind are far more important than coal.


I also wouldn't know why people like to have coal plants and seem happy that they need to be open. Anybody in it's right mind, when seeing the fumes, knows that it just can not be good.

 

It also shows that they don’t enough wind and solar to sustain themselves. Renewables are just not sustainable

 

Try adding up all the fossil fuel they us in your lil graph

Lignite
Hard coal
Natural gas
Oil
Biomass
