Yeah… Germany has so much renewable energy they’re bringing coal plants back online.
Good guy Norway on the renewables though. Definitely not one of the largest crude oil exporters either.

mihies@kbin.social 6 months agoAt least it doesn't pollute when it burns. Hydrogen is also a decent storage capacity when you have plenty of renewable energy to store. Which is happening, just look at Norway or Germany.

Germany has a lot of renewable sources and it's full on building much more. You're confusing it with their dumb policy of closing nuclear power plants. They are also considering hydrogen as storage to replace coal and gas power plants during winter. Note winter, they have not much problems during summer where electricity is abundant and often has a negative price.
What does Norway being oil exporter have anything to do with this topic?

It still emitted more carbon more to build than most people will emit in their lifetime, kinda like burning the house down but telling everyone its ok because you saved the shed.
