    20% Lignite!!!
    That is fucking AWFUL!! That’s worse than coal!
    I never imagined it was THAT bad.
    Shame on you for supporting that disgusting shit. 😡

    Lignite being the biggest source of electricity is NOT acceptable! It simply shouldn’t even be allowed.
    We stopped using that shit 80 years ago!

      No Idea where you get that I support lignite use. As I said, renewables should be the choice.

      And no, there is no excuse “We had to replace the reactors with coal!”.

      By current prices building renewable energy which generates X per year costs about as much as importing/mining fossil raw materials to produce X for 5 years. If you factor in storage you get 10 years. Thats very short time for amortization. Fasten than a nuclear plant can even be built. And this does not even include all the costs fossil fuels produce otherwise (upkeep of plants, environmental impact, …)

        You support it over nuclear, when you argue that it was a good decision to shut down nuclear, before other clean energy sources were available to replace it.
