Coal imports record significant growth
As Ive been saying........the science isn't mattering. The global warming religion goes on, and on, and on and on and on year after year after year after year with the same shit on the consensus but in the real world, virtually nothing has changed.
Renewable energy, while growing at a snails pace, is still a joke!!
Who's not winning?


so germany imported 7.7 million tons of coal. to produce iron.
total world wide coal consumption is 2300 million tons.
actually this is so ignificant thats below 1% of world wide coal production
but yeah conservatives think .. hey germany imports more coal.
meanwhile germany stoped producing hardcoal for steel production because its cheaper to import it. so germany imported 2 million tons of coal more and stoped 2 million production of coal ( german coal production was too expensive), usage balance = 0
btw with german export surplus we goto spend money importing, that 2 million tons of coal is not really helping the world
p.p.s germany stoped subventions to coal production, so germany stoped producing coal, german steelmanufacturing required coal, so we import it
the price for the enviromental damage of coal production in germany is too high anyway, we prefer importing from australia
