Wind and solar are great if they can work.

The headline is that Germany is embarking on an ambitious new plan to build ----- more coal fired plants! Hooray - back to the 19th century.

I support all energy sources that aren't coal fired electrical plants - because coal fired electricity is (a) by far the worst for the environment and (b) the dominant form of global electricity production.

Germany can build all the windmills and solar panels they want - but so long as they keep cranking out new coal plants (which is NOT happening in the USA), they are not a role model for anything.
