> seeing loads of wind turbines everywhere
The wind turbines are only there to hide the giant, coal-powered power plants that Germany had to restart because the tree-huggers who run that country decided to ditch nuclear.
I very much doubt the veracity of this article.
- Pesthuf 3y agoAh yes, notorious tree-hugger Merkel in 2011.
- llampx 3y agoMerkel had no strongly held positions, that much we all know.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoAll kind of idiot (objectively) environmentalists were fighting against nuclear for decades in Germany and other countries. They weren’t the only factor but nuclear was already effectively dead by 2011 in Germany.
- thiago_fm 3y agoDitching nuclear doesn't make wind less important for Germany. I also do hope that this situation also changes, nuclear > coal. I don't doubt the veracity of the article. We've been seeing similar and growing numbers for years. I don't get the hate to wind and how energy generation can easily become a political subject.
