if this accelerates transitioning to renewables, it is not insane.
Edit: gas not oil
even if, it's not because of that we have no coal. it's just not a good idea to use lignite (besides the co2 it also destroys tons of ecosystems which is probably beyond co2) and deep mining is basically dead in germany
What will happen is that more coal will be burned because coal always works and is instantly available; Sun and wind isn’t.
Not saying that the closing is right, but the heading is a little click-baity. Reactors are only about 2-3% of installed capacity, about 6% of production. It's not good, but it's not a catastrophe either.
