So many stories in this one graph, including:
- CO2 emissions unchanged since 2011
- more than half of Germany's CO2 emissions coming from dirty coal (lignite)
- another fourth of Germany's CO2 emissions coming from hard coal
- Germany uses almost no natural gas
The graphic below is very misleading. Renewables are not dispatchable -- and require fossil fuel backup. I was surprised that nuclear still accounts for 13% and it's my understanding that Merkel et al want to completely phase out nuclear energy.
