    I know, they could use a generator, but it would be a bit of a tip-off..

    End Result of Germany’s Green Energy Policy: More Coal”
    “Germany produced more energy by coal last year than it has in nearly a quarter century. King Coal’s return comes courtesy of the energiewende—the policy put in place following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The plan was to phase out the country’s numerous nuclear reactors and jumpstart its fledgling renewable energy industry, but coal has been forced to fill the gap. The FT reports:…”
