And brown coal.
- bamboozled 4y agoOk so what’s the difference ?
- mikaeluman 4y agoDoesn't seem to be a difference. UK just has better access to gas, for now I presume. Without a baseload power source a modern economy just can't function. That is why intermittent sources like wind and solar must be a minority of the energy supply. In Germany they don't have access to hydro and have chosen to dispense with their nuclear capacity. That leaves gas. Without Russia that is becoming hard and expensive. That leaves coal. Germany had enormous deposits of coal.
