German bit is still part of the great scam. Their green biomass fuel plants are co-firing wood pellets(sourced from chopped forests) together with brown coal in order to whitewash coal power plant into carbon neutral biomass plant.
This scam nation has today produced between 6-9 GW which is roughly between 12 and 18 percent of the total consumption with wind and water. You are right to pick on brown coal where use has not decreased much but other coal and fossil fuels have.
