Makes sense.

I'm sure they'll go on improving to avoid such band-aids dependent on coal or Russian gas.

Meanwhile in my country, coal be like breakfast cereal. I have moved to a 100% renewable area though. Can't even get a gas stove ๐Ÿ‘

The thing is that even with 100% renewables you still need to have thermal power stations.

Right now it's coal but I hopefully the German will be able to switch to biomass or hydrogen stations.
