Well of course. Germany has been opening coal plants in favor of nuclear plants.
No. Coal in general is in decline in Germany despite the shutdown of nuclear power plants. Some coal power plants were reactivated in 2022 to cover the shortage of gas, but at the same time the run time of the remaining nuclear power plants was extended by around 3 months. The reactivated coal power plants were shut down around the same time as the nuclear power plants.
This is what I meant. But I did not know the details.
That's not true at all. We've not burned as little coal as today since 1959.
While that's true, the article says
The two countries are so far off track of cutting greenhouse gas emissions in industries like transportation and buildings
T's a general lack of will. In case of Germany, it's the prevalence of the "economy over all" sentiment.
Also people are obsessed with cars .. and electric cars are not proper cars!
No, it's not true. See other comments.
Bullshit. The usage of coal in Germany is going steadily down and all German coal power plants will be phased out until 2035.
Fuck off with your nukehead propaganda
