Thank you - this about coal mining has bugged me a for long long time. Germans love to lecture everyone on the need to address climate change, even at the cost of destroying the economy but ignore the elephant in the room
Germany has completely backed itself into a corner energy-wise. If they're now paying more for American natural gas than Russian, and they shut down all nuclear power plants, and the rate of growth for renewable energies plateaus, where else can the energy come from other than coal? I don't see any way out other than Germans eating the substantial costs once coal is phased out, unless they turn the nuclear plants back on. What to do?
