What a fucking joke. It's amazing how all these countries set weak goals for themselves and then fail anyway.

We're all going to die lol

The UK likes to go the other way by talking up a ridiculous goal and then immediately failing it, like "Our goal is to produce zero CO2 and become the global leader in renewables by 2025” and then immediately open a new coal mine.

That's basically what Germany did. They recently shut down their nuclear plants and restarted their coal plants.

Wow... Where have I read that lie before? Oh, yeah. 20 times in this thread already, because you all get your alternative reality sppon-fed by the same lobbyists.

Actual reality:

The "massive" amount of nuclear shut down

The "coal" that replace nuclear

The actual historic low of coal use
