Dr. Kelvin Kemm ruminates on
Germany's plans to build 23 new coal burning power plants. Turns out that wind power provided much less (almost half) of the power it was expected to provide, and much more fossil fuel power is needed to keep the economy running. Germany, which prohibits fracking and is de-commissioning its nuclear plants, has turned to coal to power itself. Germany recently opened a huge (2200 megawatt) coal-fired plant near Cologne, to a deafening silence. This in a country that prides itself on being green.
