@snacks @cell That’s not a very accurate or details graph, but relatively speaking they no longer do nuclear power and are burning a lot of coal still.

@snacks @cell Your all time low is still like 20% of energy coming from coal. You realize that none of your neighboring countries still burn coal at all, right?

@snacks @cell Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc. we all stopped doing coal.

@SuperDicq @cell austria seems to have absolutely nothing about coal, belgium still uses it. Also, none of these countries had as much coal as us in their mix even before everyone started getting rid of it it seems

@snacks @cell Belgium closed their last coal power plant in 2023. I mean you’re correct they still have a few biomass power plants that burn coal sometimes to meet demand, but not primarily.

@snacks @cell I am of the opinion that if Germany didn’t stop doing nuclear power they could’ve gotten rid of coal right now.

@SuperDicq @snacks @cell The whole "ore mountain" range is full of coal power plants and somewhat active mines. Poles have coal plants in Silesia.

@SuperDicq @cell oh yeah, the coal energy comes from imports since they import almost 90% of their electricity lmao. Easy to get rid of coal if you just rely on others

@snacks @cell I mean Belgium is such a weird country though. Still EU coal usage is like 9% and Germany is far above the EU average.

@snacks @cell But I mean there’s also countries that are literally cheating with geographical advantage like Switzerland who can produce all their power with hydro. Something we can’t do here in the Netherlands.

@SuperDicq @cell also, idk why you're so fixated on coal specifically, germany is just the european country to use it instead of oil

@snacks @cell Because coal is a lot worse for the environment than even gas or oil.

@SuperDicq @cell we're doing a better job at getting rid of fossils than most others despite exiting nuclear at the same time
