I see this as more of a course correction than devolution.

Yeah, but then there goes the "Working in the Coal Mine" DEVO pun fun. 😜

Who cares? No one with any brains pays attention to the little twit.

This is a desperation move. That stuff is loaded with sulphur, which makes for acid rain. The ancient cathedral in Muhlhausen, (East Zone) which I saw the year the border opened, was built of laterite. The Communists didn’t give a damn about pollution; they burned the stuff profligately, and the acid had obliterated all the fine detail of the carvings.

Hopefully the power plants which burn that schite will have scrubbers, but given that they were being phased out - maybe not.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store.

For the first time in decades, the Germans are finally making decisions on the basis of practicality rather than ideology.

Coal provides not only a lot more energy, but it is also reliable unlike windmills.

This is so delicious.

Thanks. Hadn’t seen Dinah in ages!

Well, well, well...

Light is dawning.

[frank ballenger]

Funny.

Reminds me of the supposedly debunked story that when Galileo constructed his first telescope he sawed a piece of pipe from a church organ. Good story but apparently not true.

[tomkat]

Nobody can be stupid forever...

Wanna bet ?

[Songcraft]

Maybe Germany could have improved the wind turbine consistency, by putting all those Muslim "immigrants" to work, aiming their collective posteriors at the wind turbines.



(We could have shipped Eric "The Noise" Swalwell over there, to add his assistance to that "windy" effort.)

[Jeff Chandler]

a “paradoxical” situation highlighting the current prioritization of energy production over fantasy

[spokeshave]

A wind farm is being dismantled in western Germany to make way for an expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine

Ha..."demolish a wind farm"....good luck wid dat

Here's what the base of a wind farm looks like...huge anchor for the beast

I have come to conclude that generally, based upon 2000 years of history, the people called germans are generally idiots...but strangely, they are very industrious idiots.

How about that for a seeming paradox?

Germans always make good stuff!....................

Results of a policy based on superstition rather than real science............................

There is a machine that can do that.
An outdated sewage treatment plant used to be across the street from my house. They had HUGE tanks of concrete and steel. I wondered how they would get rid of them.

They brought in a machine that pulverized concrete and turned it into small rock very efficiently, although a bit noisy...................
