Germany taking down wind farms so they can mine the coal under them.
Figured it out I guess..
Canada usually slow to the party..

As I was pointing out above, the entire green energy transition is a transition to coal. It's happening in Germany other parts of Europe and China and India. the US and Australia are producing record amounts of coal. Prices are way up. Who saw this one coming?

The environmental zealots must be so proud of their accomplishment.

As I was saying, a transition to coal.

When all other viable options are vilified, and regulated out of existence, and the only proposed solution is worse than useless, we end up back where we started, burning coal. Congratulations Chuck.

Apparently not in Alberta! I guess the decision makers weren't listening to you A5. LOL

Phasing out emissions from Coal

Alberta will phase outcoal-powered electricity by the end of 2023, seven years ahead of the federal target.

Alberta currently has just over 1200 MW of coal generating capacity left on its system. The Genesee units 1, 2 and 3 at Warburg will be converted to natural gas before the calendar turns to 2023.

At that point, Canada’s fourth-largest province will be fully transitioned from coal-fired electricity. It represents quite a shift, as coal represented more than half of Alberta’s fuel mix just eight years ago.

So how did this happen? Industry experts and elected leaders attribute it to aggressive policies from both the federal and provincial government, as well as shifting market dynamics, like lower natural gas prices and competitive solar and wind.
