An SPD political ad, circa 1980, from Nordrhein-Westfälen, demanding that coal be used instead of fission to produce electricity. This is portrayed as good for employment and the environment.

   60¢ per kWh residential electricity price doesn't strike me as living very well, for all that it fulfills the "ein Kugel Eis" promise (at the eiscafe around the corner a scoop of gelato is €1.80, and 3 kWh a day could be enough if you're not using the oven). And Germany has gone from a net exporter of electricity to a net importer, after creating market mechanisms which assure it will sell cheap and buy dear.

   A coal exit was never intended.
