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.”

Agreed.
$5.9 B / 800 M = $7.375 per paper mask.
Someone got a really fat government contract.
Did Trump warn them that the CIA would blow up their pipelines and leave them in the dark?
I kinda doubt it.
They bought in bulk, on a state level, and STILL paid about $7.37 per disposable paper covering.
Imagine being stupid enough to pay $737.00 for a box of 100 of these:
A scam on so many levels.
And, not surprisingly, they have this in the disclaimer:
= useless for protection against viruses. Yet, they were omnipresent in much of the nation/world, as if they were a great idea.
They might as well start burning their paper money while they are at it.
omnipresent/required in much of the nation/world
What an embarrassingly ANTI-science couple of years there. All started as a means to finally get rid of Trump.
The words “Germany” and “thermal recycling” in the same sentence kinda gives me the creeps.
What do they care? It’s not their money.
We could sell them all the dead standing trees killed and partially burnt , from our forest fires.
Just spitballing ya know.
Probably more BTUs if they had just burned the cash
Burning masks works for me.
I did the same.
We had a co generator nat gas incinerator in our town when I grew up. They burnt mostly paper and plastic and it added BTU. But we didn’t spend 6 billion on the waste.

Ah, this is one of those moments of delicious irony that you have to savor to get you through those dry spells in life.
