Do they even have any coal fired power plants left?

The way things are going they'll be burning coal in their homes like they did 150 years ago.

I don't know much about their current situation.

But I know coal is starting to make a rapid comeback.
Denmark, for example, has bought some coal from Africa. Faced with the possibility of people sitting in the dark and freezing this winter, all options are back on the table.

As they should be, never should have been taken off. What are the odds that they'll learn from this?

Zero.

That's a really good question.

Working-class people the whole world over now know the left's energy policies are pure crap. But how much does that matter?

The ruling elites are faced with those same obvious failures, but it's difficult to believe their cherished ideologies will change very much.

If I had to guess, we'll see most countries pumping the brakes on the most extreme fantasies next year. For example, "Team Biden's" silly and absolutely impossible EV mandate for 2030, and similar stuff that has no basis in reality. (BTW, the national power grid simply can't support that 2030 EV mandate, and the trend for power generation is going the opposite direction.)

That means heavily-subsidized construction of wind and solar facilities will continue, until the United States goes completely broke. But until then, there'll be much more pushback on the wholesale decommissioning of power plants that still work when it's dark and there's no wind.

Univ Cal Irvine engineering study showed California will not be able to sustain all new electric vehicle mandate unless 50% of EVs are hydrogen fuel cell. But Cali does not even have plan to produce/supply hydrogen for that many hydrogen EVs.

Hahahahaha! Screw that!
