...oil and gas sales to "green" Germany after Germany banned nuclear power. The Germans didn't ban coal; they embraced coal.

As stated in the OP, the purpose of destroying vast stretches of pristine wilderness, industrializing it, for the reactionary affectation to return dependence on the weather for energy - which was abandoned in the 19th century for a reason was never about attacking fossil fuels. It arose to attack our only sustainable form of energy, nuclear energy.

The success of this ignorant attack on nuclear energy has left the planet in flames.

I am, I think one of the very few people on this website who understands that it is not acceptable, and that "percent talk" which has been the blather handed out by people who hype so called "renewable energy" for decades.

In the 23 years I've been writing at DU I'd suffered through reading pablum about "renewable energy" the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere has risen by more than 55 ppm, and as of this week is over 429 ppm.

How do I know?

I'm paying attention. I check it every Sunday.

If any "renewables will save us" types want to know who is responsible for the collapse of the planetary atmosphere, a mirror would be a useful device for identifying such a person.

Have a nice weekend.
