Finland phases out coal, ahead of schedule:

“Imported fossil energy has been replaced with cleaner solutions that reduce climate emissions, while consumers benefit from lower energy prices”

“As Finland previously relied primarily on coal imported from Russia, the phase-out has also boosted Finland’s energy independence and, therefore, national security.”

euronews · How Finland has replaced coal power with wind in less than 10 yearsWind power in Finland has more than doubled since 2020 to supply a quarter of the country’s energy.

Ireland and wind power:

“Last year our wind farms supplied a third of our total power consumption. But we have the capacity to achieve far more.

Wind energy could provide enough electricity to exceed our domestic demand by 2030.”

“Despite Ireland’s potential in wind energy, our wastage is higher than other European countries because we lack their extensive grid infrastructure and interconnection.”

Another offtopic regarding #renewables as I dropped over this one: China has overtaken the european (read austrian) wood building regulatory.
Go europe, chances left as there is no spruce in china! Don’t worry, the coalmines wasteland there is all set, but they need to wait for a century.

Mit der Verwandtschaft über Wind und Solarenergie zu reden kann einem wirklich die Stimmung vermiesen.
Es ist unglaublich welche Meinungen da so kursieren. Solarmodule müsse man regelmässig putzen, Module halten nicht so lange, D importiere massenhaft Atomstrom aus Frankfreich, Windkraft würde viel Landfläche verbrauchen, und ja Vögel usw.

Soviel Blödsinn ist kaum zu ertragen. Woher nehmen die das nur?
