Reply to comment by dominantspecies in German leader warns against 'worldwide renaissance' for coal by Wagamaga

Hasn't Germany been moving away from nuclear due to public sentiment? It sounds like their people have made a difference, but not in a good way. But I suggest it demonstrates you're wrong about being completely fatalist.

yup, they voted to shut down the nuclear plants, which means they have to replace them with coal in the meantime, at least until more renewables get built out.

In the US coal is basically dead, the "coal renaissance" basically seems like a china/germany problem.
