LOL
Coal-powered cars are the future, comrade.
President Trump warned them about being dependent on Russian energy.....
Indulging in BS fantasy collapses when you are facing cold, hunger and the rioting and mayhem that follows. I guess they are not laughing at Trump now.
Another win and ‘told you so’ for Trump.
Who got the last laugh, EU dipsh*ts?
Green energy for thee, but not for me.
They should shift back to nuclear.
What impact does China substantially increasing its use of coal for power have on climate change.
What impact does China substantially increasing its use of coal for power have on climate change.
That’s not hard to figure: Germany has proven reserves equivalent to 154.6 times its annual consumption. This means it has about 155 years of Coal left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).
And they don’t have to kiss Putin’s ass to get it. Just Greta’s...
Of course I don’t actually believe in climate change as an issue. If I did, though, I’d promote nuclear power all around.
And actually, if they can further develop small nuclear, I very much do favor it. I don’t like mega plants, a shut-down or hiccup causes too much trouble. But many small generators are pretty resilient, I think. If one is down for maintenance, no problem.
They could send a few engineers to West Virginia to learn how to burn clean energy with coal. I live between two huge coal burning giants and the air is clear. I do remember the old days when you came home with a black face if you went to Nashville. And you wheezed through winter.
I don’t know about Chinese plants, but modern American coal plants are pretty pristine. And they are a very reliable base provider for the grid. I like natural gas too, but there is nothing wrong with coal.
Actually, I like wind and solar. Whatever works. But they are only niche providers. They can never be reliable power sources at the grid level.
See my post 16. I agree with you. I used to work in coal plants. Modern plants are very clean.
Heidi is coming to get you!
Safe nuclear’s the answer.
And plants built on safe soil - not on cheap land on fault lines like Japan and California have done.
Before the war in Ukraine, 50% of the coal for Germany's power stations was imported from Russia.
