Germany, Merkel, Coal, CO2 -- Not Looking Good For Deutschland -- November 26, 2017

Talk about a country trying its hardest to destroy its economy. Wow.

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.
