Germany to 'Thermally Recycle' COVID Masks as Country Faces Energy Apocalypse
...
According to Bloomberg, Germany plans to incinerate close to 800 million sealed face covers, which are however past their sell-by date, that were purchased in the initial outbreak of the COVID pandemic.
Bloomberg also reported that Germany spent roughly $5.9 billion on those same face covers marked for incineration.
...
According to Germany’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection, waste incineration in Germany offers the possibility of generating not only electricity but also heat.
...
A minimum of 20 coal powered plants across the country are being restored and/or are having their leases extended past their initially planned close dates.
While coal has historically been one of the most reliable means of heat production, the growing cost of the energy source may prove to be another massive obstacle for Germany.
...
According to Heiko Mennerich — Evonik’s head of energy — the cost of coal “rose from $64 per metric ton at the beginning of 2021 to nearly $400 this summer.”

Germany to 'Thermally Recycle' COVID Masks as Country Faces Energy Apocalypse
Who was that masked man?
‘Incineration” means burning trash. Germany is also beginning to burn wood for fuel as even coal runs short and costly.
They laughed at Trump for warning them.
Similarities of which we will see here if the leftists in charge are not defeated this fall, in 2024 and going forward.
Had to check that this isn’t the Babylon Bee.
A few months prior to that, he also warned them at a NATO meeting.
Greatest engineers to full retard in under a Century.
I thought maybe a nice patchwork quilt made out of used masks. Etsy?
It's wood imported from North America. I like it really. Biden doesn't want to burn coal or gas? OK, lets clear cut our national forests. Works for me.
6 bil up in smoke...
Also, they spent taxpayer $$ (whatever) for masks with a “use by date”?
Yah, the elastic might go bad. But, I’ve got dust masks in my garage that are still in their packaging after 2 years and they still have good elastic.
So, some dumb-arsed Krauts went ahead and gave the CCP money for masks with an expiration date..... and that is OK?
Y’all deserve to freeze.

Only because they still insist on using ESG metrics for pricing.
They should try thermally recycling used toilet paper.
I’m sure it’ll come to that because...green or something.
I hope the heat goes off anyplace Biden goes...just his room...
“Screw the environment! I’m cold!”
Well, to be fair Trump came late to the game. There was already a highly respected energy expert on the job in Europe.
HOW DARE YOU!!!
