‘Necessary evil’: France refires coal plant amid energy woes

Replacing the coal plant with nuclear energy is a smart move, if the nuclear plants are operational. Unfortunately half of France’s nuke plants are down, some for routine maintenance, some for repairs. Wouldn’t be a big problem if natural gas wasn’t in short supply.

John f’n kohn-heinz-kerry will fly in and give macaroon a tongue lashing over zis. Sacre merde! ❄🌬💩

LMAO

idiots, its not evil!

LIBERALISM is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mean Daddy]

The problem with powering generating plants with natural gas is now you’re competing with people and businesses for a resource. Not many people or businesses are using coal.

But I thought the world was ending, build more solar panels; freeze for the good of the earth?

[beekay]

Coal-fired plants around the world are becoming popular once again. That did not take too long.

It was always a necessary “evil”. It brought us out of the dark ages. Prolonged life, improved quality of life, etc.

Duh.

If I could get coal around here, I would put in a back up stove that could use wood or coal.

Great Comment!

Coal didn’t bring us out of the dark ages. The dark ages were from 456 AD to 800 AD and inky in western Europe, due to the collapse of Roman authority there.

The east didn’t have a dark age, leave alone China and India

Coal is not evil and France and Democrats shouldn't be allowed to use it.

--- " ‘Necessary evil’: France refires coal plant amid energy woes"

The ASS-ociated Pres quotes a "shift supervisor Thomas About at the Emile-Huchet Power Plant in Saint-Avold." This quote rises to the level of a headline.

Meanwhile in China, which has received a pass from the worldwide Greenies builds more coal plants every year. the ASS-ociated Press has not as yet used "evil" to my knowledge about the ChiComs.
