Coal: Germany And The Greens -- January 14, 2023

Updates

January 16, 2023: this doesn't add anything to the conversation but the graphic is incredible and suggest scenes from Lord of the Rings

Original Post

Coal: in Germany, surges. Link here.

  • 31% of electricity production now comes from coal
    • was only 8% back in 2015
    • Trump warned them
    • country took advice from Greta
  • and this is despite de-industrialization -- that's where you shut down industries to minimize electricity demand
  • in photo below, police are clearing a German village "condemned" for coal mine
    • police in riot gear evicting climate activists
    • stones and fireworks were thrown at the police
    • "the attacks on the police officers were 'not nice' but noted that most of the protest so far had been peaceful," said police spokesman. [I can't make this up.]
  • but look at this: Germany's Green Party had to get on board with this decision to make it happen -- and they did
  • we will see similar photo when US outlaws gas-burning stoves
