Germany is replacing nuclear power with coal and candles. They’re gonna party like it’s 1899!

Maybe some little corporal will come along and restore their national pride.
But just doesn't seem quite right at the present time. We're freezing our a***** off and "Z" is lounging in his hot tub with that chick wife.
He is NOT a peoples president.
What with the coal and candles, and all, I expect to hear they need more whale oil. I see an opportunity coming for sewing lamps and harpoons? They surely won’t ask us for kerosene? I remember some stuff about how clever Chermans are. Next we’ll hear they’re putting mirrors behind their oil lamps?
US energy exports are through the roof.
Guess where sone if it’s going.
Well, coal works pretty well.
We have many plants still basically coal-fired.
It’s a damn sight better than “wind”.
Clean Coal
In the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (EGUs), also known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards or MATS, EPA set technology-based emissions standards for mercury and other hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted by units with a capacity of more than 25 megawatts. These standards reflect levels achieved by the best-performing sources and apply to existing and new EGUs.
MATS, along with significant changes in the power sector, has achieved significant health and environmental benefits by reducing a broad range of hazardous air pollutants. By 2017 mercury emissions had dropped by 86 percent - down to approximately 4 tons. Acid gas HAP and non-mercury metals are down 96 percent and 81 percent respectively when compared to 2010 levels.

Every one of them has a target on their back.
We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. We already know about hundreds of years of oil, natural gas, and coal. The more we search, the more we find. All of this is not fossils. Hydrocarbons are found all over the universe. Trump proved we can be energy independent, and a major exporter of energy. Drill Baby Drill!
Now hoping to get coal in my Christmas stocking
As accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima have shown, when nuclear power goes wrong, it can go really wrong.
__________
There were only about 50 people death in Chernobyl and NONE in Fukushima!
Basically equivalent of major bus accident!
Nukes are the safest form of energy.
But they are just not understand by most of the people.
“Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They’re not laughing anymore
The walls came down”
There is a large moon around Saturn called Titan. Its atmosphere is mostly methane and it even has methane lakes!
Libertarian dad joke
What did communists use before candles
A- electricity
Guess it can be changed to germans or greenies

Klaus Schwab?
If you see him, tell him I have a room that needs painting.
