    And another thread of “oh no! they fuck the environment and us all” when the reality is the lowest coal use in Germany for decades. With a hike in reduction the moment these shitty nuclear reactors providing basically nothing (>2% in the months they were still running) but getting renewable energy shut down were finally gone

    Reactivating coal power plants for winter in case they should be needed is not the same as actually burning coal. Not that any of your favorite propagandists would ever tell you that secret.

      It takes month to start a coal power plant, so you hace to always keep it on even if you don’t need power. Do you know how they keep it on? By burning coal.

        Do you understand how reality works? You know this strange thing were coal usage in Germany is going down constantly while everyone is screaming at the top of their lungs how Germany is burning more coal?
