Climate-obsessed Germany has had to burn more coal for energy after Russia drastically cut gas supplies to the country.
Germany has said it will have to rely more heavily on coal for electricity after Russia cuts its supply of gas to the country, despite the country’s obsession with crazy political decisions.
This puts the Central European state in a very dangerous position in terms of energy security due to the country’s over-reliance on energy exports from Moscow, a problem that former US President Donald Trump envisioned in 2018.
While he was ridiculed at the time for his Trump warning, the former US president appears to have been acquitted: A seismic interruption in supply was reported in an article published by Deutsche Welle on Sunday. Gas from Russia is posing a potential energy crisis in Germany.
As a result, Germany will be forced to ration the gas, increasing its dependence on coal. black bug for environmentalists – to generate electricity.
“To reduce gas consumption, it is necessary to use less gas to generate electricity. German Green Party Minister Robert Habeck announced the new measures, saying instead, coal-fired power plants should use more.”
“It’s bittersweet, but in this case, it just needs to reduce gas consumption,” he continued, noting that his country is willing to lead coal phasing to better meet its climate goals.
He did not, however, talk about the way it would generate energy from nuclear, despite the fact that by the end of the year Germany should completely abandon its relatively low-carbon-emissions method of generating energy.
The country’s green-mad government began phasing out earlier this year, and although some power plants that were originally decommissioned could be recommissioned to combat energy insecurity caused by Russia’s severing of ties with the west, such is more likely by Habek himself. a move that was previously rejected.
“We once again carefully considered whether operating nuclear power plants for a longer period of time would help us in this foreign policy situation,” the minister said earlier. “The answer is no – it won’t help us.”
Meanwhile, the Free Democratic Party, one of the German Greens coalition partners, has suggested that the country reconsider its fracking ban, in hopes that technology will improve the current situation.
“Scientific research shows that hydraulic fracturing does not cause significant harm to the environment by modern safety standards,” said one of the party representatives. “Therefore, it should seriously examine whether a larger shale gas production in Germany is economically and technically feasible.”
However, the Greens largely rejected the call, stating that there is not enough gas in Germany for access via technology and that such a cracking project would take a long time to set up.
