Despite Wind & Solar Surge, Europe’s Still Hooked on Coal
June 25, 2021Germany’s efforts to ditch coal-fired power for good, is a little like St Augustine’s prayer asking his Lord to make him chaste, but just not yet.
Back in April, a week after it forced the shutdown of 11 coal-fired power plants, it was forced to reopen them to avoid mass blackouts.
Germany legislated a ban on coal-fired power plants, but the underlying chaos that is wind and solar power generation quickly brought them back to reality. And, apparently, those that forced those plants into energy exile are themselves being forced to welcome coal-fired power back again, with open arms.
Going from ridiculous to high farce, the anti-carbon dioxide gas squad in Europe has managed to reinvigorate the demand for coal, yet again.
Here’s the team from Jo Nova with another dose of irony from renewables-obsessed Europe.
