Germany Votes To Shutter Its Last Three Nuclear Plants, Favors Coal Instead

germany nuclear plantEurope’s climate obsessions have led to an energy crisis, and who would have thought the Germans would choose to make it worse.

That’s what happened last Thursday when the Bundestag voted to shut down the country’s remaining nuclear power plants by the end of the year. [bold, links added]


Lawmakers, mainly from the Social Democratic and Green parties in the ruling coalition, nixed an effort to extend the lives of three nuclear reactors.

Those are the last three standing after former Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision in 2011 to phase out nuclear power.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Shows how serious the Germans are about anthropogenic global warming (aka Climate Change™).

The Germans may have erred in retiring workable nuclear plants before the end of their lifespan. If the plants are still usable, then operate them.

However...
Moving to coal is a good idea. Doesn't Germany have decent coal reserves?
If so, then USE THEM.

They have the technology to burn it as cleanly as possible.
Might as well use the resources they have.

They might even consider coal gasification plants -- isn't that a proven technology, as well...?

"Fishrrman's law of energy resources":
Any and all energy resources will eventually be used when needed.
The only variable is how badly the need becomes to extract and use them.
