The two hallmarks of every Westwall posting are here again - a lack of intellectual rigour, and a lack of honesty.
Germany is not "going back to coal" because it has never gone out of it. What they are doing is phasing out nuclear and going almost entirely into renewables. To do that, they need to extend the use of coal beyond the original cut-off date of 2018. I don't entirely agree with the phasing oit of nuclear before coal, but at least I understand their thinking and can be honest about it.
Germany and the conservative government there are fully up to speed on climate change, and are doing very good business in exports as a result.
