Ooops, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

Sorry, but I'm not paid for using Google for other people. Anyone interested in the actual topic will be able to find actual numbers about coal use in Germany within 10 seconds. Everyone more interested in the narratives will not care anyway.

Guess what happens if you type "coal use Germany 2022 vs 2023" into Google... My first hit is this:

"Decline in nuclear and fossil generation. The last three nuclear power plants generated 6.7 TWh until their shutdown on April 15. In the first half of 2022, the figure was 15.8 TWh. Coal-fired power generation also fell: Lignite-fired power plants generated about 41.2 TWh, a sharp decline of 21 percent from 2022 (52.1 TWh). Net production from coal-fired power plants also decreased by 23 percent, from 26.2 TWh in 2022 down to 20.1 TWh in 2023."

Am I supposed to assume it's an accident that the narrative is persistent when reality and actual facts are only one click away?
