Germany Goes Coal Fired.

Zoomup

That's cos Germany did not demolish its coal fired power stations like the U.K.

There are currently 30 coal-fired power stations in Germany, including RWE’s lignite-fired Niederaussem plant, accounting for around a third of its electricity generation. In the UK, coal-fired power made up just 3% of the UK’s electricity in the first quarter of 2019, according to Ofgem, and will be phased out altogether by 2025.

The U.K. is a BIG loser. But it does burn wood chippings as they are supposedly "green".

    We should follow Germany's example. We are sitting upon hundreds of thousands of tons of the stuff. If the same will and amount of finance was redirected to clean coal tech, then we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today. Meanwhile, what coal we do use is inferior, of low calorific value and is full of sulfur, plus, it is imported from half way around the world! How 'green' is that?
