Germany's cabinet on Wednesday approved putting on-reserve lignite-fired power plants back online from October until the end of March 2024, the economy ministry said, as a step to replace scarce natural gas this winter and avoid shortages.

    Shutting down the nuclear plants is probably the worst thing the Germans have done. At least it’s in the top3.

        Genocide is def more evil, but the amount of coal and gas germans are burning will probably kill a lot more people.

          Y’know, I think you’re off in terms of scale, but your point is valid. Coal is so extremely bad for people even outside of its impact on GHGs.

        That was sort of an asshole comment if we’re being honest with each other. We’re here talking about climate change, not WW2.

          Germany’s history doesn’t just consist of: “It was founded, they built nuclear plants, then they shut them down and ran coal”

            Sure, so when there’s an article about Japan’s population declining do you comment insightful things about them getting nuked? You sound like a wanna-be edgy 16 year old twat.
