This year *in winter!* Germany is at 61% renewable and 23% coal (I guess renewables will be at the very least at 65% by the end of the year) as net energy exporter.
ib4 you get downvoted by the green cult, it is actually crazy how these 15% hold the entire country hostage with their insane beliefs
Same way how ‘green’ parties in the Netherlands refuse the use of nuclear power plants but have no clue what to get as a constant energy source.
Idk why some people are so brainwashed about nuclear energy and think it’s unsafe.
You don’t understand, it’s clean coal! (They wash it first)
Why did this happen? And how do Germans justify it?
Wasn’t a lot of this triggered by the Fukushima nuclear accident? Which was caused by an earthquake and tsunami, rather than anything that was likely to actually occur in Germany.
One of the greatest moves of the nuclear lobby was to frame the German exit from nuclear power as some emontional decision and not because it was simply to expensive and complicated in comparison to alternative sources like coal.
Please note that counter to popular belief the exit was decided in the 90s and not 2000s (Fukushima had no influence), like people like to claim, a time in which climate change was an non issue.
Not everybody can get cheap Uranium from Africa, ehhh France?
Don’t forget the protesting against wind and solar too.
In fairness, weren’t their kids been sent back through time by playing in the caves near a nuclear reactor

And then it turned out said girl was working for Russian oilcompanies the whole time 😛
For once France is in the right here
Well the percentage of coal is still sinking yearly in the energy mix

Anti nuclear activists have to be the pinnacle of stupidity and naiveté, and I personally blame them for the high German energy prices
To be fair, there is a discussion to get back into nuclear energy, but not for electricity wink wink
Cope and seethe, nucloids
Only clean, natural coal power 😍🇩🇪🇩🇪

Least Gazprom reliant German:
And then those clowns went protesting and crying that the German government was digging for coal
> Decision-Making
The decision was made by the conservative party in power.
This was maybe the one time we actually needed these people to have a spine, but this is the CDU we’re talking about.
They had to turn them off because of the tsunamis
Fun fact: a coal power plant gives off at least ten times more radiation than a nuclear power plant
The amusing thing about France is that our completely idiotic ecologists praise the German model.
