Unreal. The Germans are decommissioning three nuclear power plants while the war is going on. And firing up their coal stations.
"Amos Hochstein, Biden's coordinator for global energy, was dispatched to Europe yesterday to help coordinate efforts to move away from Russia.
His itinerary includes trips to Paris and Brussels to discuss contingency planning with a US-EU energy task force created back in March, CNN reported.
'This was our biggest fear,' one US official said ahead of the visit.
Among the goals will be persuading Germany to delay the shuttering of its three remaining nuclear power-plants, which are due to come offline at the end of this year, to help ease the transition.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has so-far ruled out the move - brainchild of predecessor Angela Merkel - and is instead firing up old coal power stations, flying in the face of carbon emissions targets."
