The public, like me, is mostly agnostic about where the energy comes from. There is a fair bit of agreement that coal fired power is truly odious, and should be phased out.

And yet, here is Germany embarking on a program to build a new fleet of coal fired power plants! And here is Mr. Nelder (and his, gratefully dwindling, entourage) cheerleading Germany, because they have a large fleet of mostly idle windmills greenwashing their newfound love of coal!

It is all too absurd to figure out exactly how bad it is. Like the song from the Sopranos says, "it's bad, you know".
