   Europe’s ‘coal comeback’ that never materialised.

   Booming renewables and electricity demand reductions meant that the EU's coal generation over winter 2022–23 fell compared with the previous year.

     @janrosenow Cool! Now imagine if that negative nuclear bar, mostly Germany, could have gone into the negative coal and gas bars.

     Replacing energy use with nothing certainly implies that someone was going without. Maybe because businesses aren't producing products, or maybe because people are having to choose between food and heat and choosing food (or maybe less of both).
     
     Worst case scenario on the production front, manufacturing that was done using nuclear power in Germany is now being done in China with coal and shipped around the world in boats powered by Bunker fuel.
