Coal is clean, readily available, easy to burn and has been the reason we got out of the dark ages. I hope we keep burning coal for a long time to come.
----------------------------
Burning coal for power looks set to remain the backbone of Germany's energy supply for decades yet, an apparent contrast to Chancellor Angela Merkel's ambitions for Europe's biggest economy to be a role model in tackling climate change.
Merkel is avoiding the sensitive subject of phasing out coal, which could hit tens of thousands of jobs, in the campaign for the Sept. 24 election, in which she hopes to win a fourth term.
Although well over 20 billion euros are spent each year to boost Germany's green energy sector, coal still accounts for 40 percent of energy generation, down just 10 points from 2000.

I'm mad, but this is Sup Forums related.
Josiah Hill
thousands of refugees will be getting jobs with coalburning women. This will help the economy, jobs, and is also eco friendly as the energy harvested from german women coalburning will go towards powering the entire country.
Isaac Campbell
I absolutely believe you when you say coalburning is so very integral to germany.
Thomas Foster
I laughed

>Coal is clean lol no it's fucking not >readily available Yeah after destroying landscapes, mountains, and costing literally tens of thousands of lives a year to harvest >, easy to burn So are the jews. > and has been the reason we got out of the dark ages. wew. wood and stone got us out the hunter gatherer age, guess we should give up on steel and plastics and nuclear power and ((((((((coal))))))

Germans have a sense of humor after all

Gavin Flores
Yes it is.
Aiden Cruz
why are you so against coal? Are you a... demorat?
Caleb Nguyen
This is pretty good. Almost believable that someone from germany could actually be this deadpan.
Juan Myers
Gee, Germany is all for the environment until it hits their shekel wallet.
Luke Green
>Coal became clean when nuclear became safe.
So like 1970 in the west?
Zachary Miller
Good job, I spilled my coffee just reading the title
Elijah Rivera
Point is we don't need "clean coal" because we have "dirtless, zero carbon nuclear"
Chase Adams
Are you delusional?

Germans are at their heart nationalists. This is why we have a strong export economy and love our coal power plants. We have coal mines and burn our coal. Coal is cheap and lets us sustain our industry.
We are all about the shekels in our industry wallets. You cannot take away this mindset.

>Coal is clean Wut. Coal and tidal are best. Wind following that.
James Bell
>Coal Well shit, i apparently had a stroke. Meant to say nuclear is best.
Cameron Carter
>Meant to say nuclear is best. No, no, you were right. Coal and tidal are best.
Hunter Torres
Proof of coal being better than anything but solar?
Kayden Howard
>Proof of coal being better than anything but solar? Look what coal can do. Can solar and wind do that? No.
Hudson Thomas
I already said solar sucks. And wind is a supplement, but it could do that on the proper scale.
Grayson Stewart
>I already said solar sucks. And wind is a supplement, but it could do that on the proper scale.
Fact is, unless you start with massive, cheap buffer systems (e.g. reverse flow batteries on a huge scale), you ain't going to get rid of coal.
And it doesn't matter. Coal power plants are perfect to even out intermittent demand as you can see in the UK. Just use them when you need them.
Jeremiah Brooks
>Dark ages Wow, learn history anytime. When Rome fell they saw it as the end of Roman enlightenment hence "Dark Ages"
Jordan Cooper
Wow you understood the joke, guess two minds think alike. Have you prepared your bull yet?
Zachary Lopez
Or you could just convert a couple of (((coal))) stations to nuclear, and save everything?
>convert a coal station to nuclear fuck you're an idiot
Kevin Cruz
Oh, do explain why. So i can laugh at your idiocy.
Austin Reyes
you don't "convert a coal station" to nuclear, you demolish the coal station and build a nuclear power plant in it's place. fuck you're dumb.
Bentley Sullivan
Which many people would declare a conversion. But besides that, you can in fact convert them, changing only parts which need be changed. Ya know, like the Americans have done.
