Another coal fired power station

Germany is to build another new coal fired power station. This is part of a series of new or expanded power stations which are being built.

The power station is being built by the same people who started the oxy-combustion rig in Schwartze Pumpe.

The reason for this? Back in 2000 the then german government decided to phase out all of their nuclear power stations.

With this set in law the current government must comply, which gives them a problem.

The only technical solution they can find is to build / expand 26 coal fired power stations - which of course the greens hate.

There's irony there somewhere.
