Makes sense.

I'm sure they'll go on improving to avoid such band-aids dependent on coal or Russian gas.

Meanwhile in my country, coal be like breakfast cereal. I have moved to a 100% renewable area though. Can't even get a gas stove 👍

I'm struggling to understand this metaphor

The thing is that even with 100% renewables you still need to have thermal power stations.

Right now it's coal but I hopefully the German will be able to switch to biomass or hydrogen stations.

Which country?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Australia.

Where the coal comes from and what your country does with it ain't our problem. We'll even discount you if you're going through it quick enough.
