Unfortunately, they made a really dumb mistake: getting rid of nuclear power in favor of shitty coal. Doesn't exactly make them look eco-friendly.

- nforgerit 4y agoThey did not get rid of nuclear in favor of shitty coal. That’s fake news. They planned to be at about 80% of primary energy to be based on renewables which got boycotted by Merkel government AND they expected to bridge the residual needs with cheap Russian gas which got rendered impossible in the current situation. Now the only option is shitty coal. BTW: Nuclear energy is damn expensive (for the tax payer), the nuclear waste problem is still not solved and in France (>70% nuclear) we just started to see the huge problems with fission when climate change results in a drought.
