In Germany, the stuttering bid to jumpstart coal-fired power plants

But infrastructure issues, manpower shortages and logistical problems are proving to be major obstacles for the restart.

At Moorburg, operator Vattenfall has dashed hopes of new operations, saying simply that "restarting it would be neither technically, economically nor legally feasible".

"Many parts have been dismantled and sold," said Robert Wacker, director of the site.

Even power plants that had not been completely shut, but put in reserve to generate power only occasionally, are struggling with a complete reboot.

Further south from Moorburg, energy group Uniper will on Monday fire up its Heyden 4 site, which had been a reserve plant since mid-2021.

But the company warned that its output would be affected by railway capacity limits in ferrying hard coal to the site.

In a few months the West is going to have a major challenge on their hands as many unfortunate citizens in Europe are going to be in a precarious position, through no fault of their own; trying to heat their homes for winter.

Germany in particular has lived for decades pushing others into the path of the shark hoping it would eat them last. They lacked a contingency plan in the event Russia cut off their oil. The only positive is that they have plenty of runway to prepare, actually achieving the result they need is another consideration altogether.

NWO Plans To Depopulate The Earth

The international campaign to eliminate the "useless eaters" (according to the Club of Rome) on behalf of the planet's privileged ruling elite, is surely to take a more voracious toll as global population levels continue to rise.

They should have been been watching HBO and Ned Stark, instead of MSLSD and Al Gore on TV.

Then they would have known for a while that Winter is Coming.

At least we are in better shape than the squareheads as we have our own NG-fired power plants and 232 coal-fired plants still up and running.

Remember when they openly laughed at President Trump warning them of this doom?
