Germany: Coal tops wind as primary electricity source

[NNadir]

2. What is rather surprising is why anyone would have expected otherwise.

The fact is that without access to dangerous fossil fuels, the so called "renewable energy" industry cannot survive.

In any case all the steel in all those wind turbines depended on coal for its manufacture. Diesel powered trucks and cranes set them up, and unless they're allowed to rot in place when their 25 year life time is over, they will need diesel powered trucks to tow them away.

It should be said however that German diesel contains a fair proportion of biodiesel obtained from "renewable" palm plantations that were planted by ripping up or burning virgin Malaysian and Indonesian rain forests.

Don't worry, be happy though. Palm oil fronds are green.
