Platts: German coal extends its dominance in German Power production.

Germany's coal-fired power plants increased their dominance in the generation mix in the first nine months of the year as output from natural gas-fired power plants and wind turbines dropped, according to an analysis of data that German think tank Fraunhofer Institute (ISE) collected.

German Dark Spreads: 10 Jul - 8 Oct, 2013

Coal plants increased production by about 5%, or 8.4 TWh, to 189.4 TWh in the first three quarters of 2013 as output from gas-fired power plants fell 6.5 TWh, or 18%, to just 29 TWh compared with the same period of 2012, data that ISE compiled from the EEX transparency platform and Germany's statistical office show.

Such is the results of anti-nukism world wide. It's no wonder that the measurements at Mauna Loa show an all time record fossil fuel waste dumping disaster for 2013.
