Own goal by the Gretini team, the green obsession has caused more coal to be burned

Energy hunger brings the coal to the Taliban of ecological transition. While the WWF and its friends are attacking the funding of university research by the big names in the sector and persist in banning new generation nuclear energy, the real world is moving forward and adopting the most convenient solution to support production, work and exports. and GDP.

So last year, despite the mirage of decarbonisation total, the share of electricity produced by the companies has increased coal power plants. You read it right: globally, 2% more of the fossil fuel that already heated our grandmothers’ stoves was burned. The oldest with which the world lit fire after wood.

A technological failure of this kind has not been seen for four years for the priests of all wind and photovoltaic energy in honor of the simulacrum of the net zero emissions. All this despite the efforts made by a large part of the West, with the relative commitment to close or reconvert the oldest and most polluting power plants as quickly as possible.

Because when, as happened last year, the increase in the use of coal is the Xi Jinping’s China, that is, the “factory of the world”, there is little that Europe and the United States can do. Both, however, have slowed down their plans to close their old power plants, probably due to the conflict in Ukraine and the high price of energy which have put a strain on the budgets of families and businesses.

The rest was done by many other developing countries, such as Pakistan, India, Vietnam or Bangladesh from which many of the products used daily in the Old Continent arrive via container via the Suez Canal.

It is almost superfluous to remember that the greatest damage, both economically and for the environment, will be for countries without nuclear power. As the Germany which has decided to say goodbye to the atom and even more so to Italy which has avoided it for 50 years but sources electricity from nearby France obtained from the nuclear power plants of the public giant EDF.

In summary, there is already a lot of coal ready in the socks of the environmental gurus for their mistakes. And Epiphany will arrive only in nine months.
