☢️ Germany’s shut down of nuclear plants a ‘huge mistake’, says Merz
｢ Germany’s nuclear phase-out was accelerated following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March 2011. The government led by then-chancellor Angela Merkel moved to speed up an exit plan that had first been adopted in 2000. The policy aimed to reduce nuclear risks while advancing the Energiewende, or “energy turnaround”, Germany’s energy transition centred on renewables ｣

As Eby tours India today touting #BCLNG as the solution to their smoggy skies, reality is much —much— different. He appears to be selling gas to a country that is actively leaving it.
"Coal use declined in both countries even as electricity demand continued to rise”
" non-fossil energy sources grew fast enough in both countries to meet rising electricity demand.”
https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/india-china-coal-power-renewables-b2899298.html
And from this article:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/india-solar-one-bengaluru-new-delhi-b2761414.html
"Renewable energy is now the most economical option.
Solar is now half the cost of power from new coal-powered plants. Shah added that dropping costs for energy storage, in the form of batteries, means that renewable power will be the “new normal," even when the sun doesn't shine”
Neither of these articles even mention natural gas.
A quick look at the "Electricity Sector in India" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_India ) shows that the absolute amount of electricity generated by Natural Gas in India has dropped from 93TWh in 2011-12, to 56.6TWh in 24-25.
At the same time, *just* Solar has gone from 4.6TWh in 2014-15 (the first year with separate numbers) to 144TWh in 24-25? Renewables in total including traditional Hydro have gone from 181-403TWh.
Who is BC actually selling LNG to?

🇨🇳 Photos Capture the Breathtaking Scale of China's Wind and Solar Buildout
The latest auction of offshore and farm contracts has seen a number of successful bids (dominated by RWE from Germany) as opposed to the last round which saw no bids at the lower contract price offered.
In the long-run its good news at it (again) expends wind generation capacity, but will again refocus attention on interconnectivity & network capacity where the energy links land (primarily on the east coast).
But the green transition looks alive(ish)

Coal power is finally retreating in the world’s two largest markets. For the first time since 1973, both China and India saw coal generation drop in 2025 thanks to a relentless clean energy boom. We are witnessing the beginning of the end for the coal era.
