On the other hand, after funding Putin's war with their fossil fuel purchases because they're going "green," it's entirely possible that the per capita consumption is going down because they're shutting plants because of high energy prices owing to stupidity.
Big adjustment! Basf quietly closed 11 factories in Germany and transferred to China for plant investment! (2024)
I hear a lot of tortured rhetoric handed out attempting to justify burning fossil fuels, but this one is highly amusing.
As of this writing, 7:23P EST (US) 11/09/2024, German electricity has a carbon intensity of 594 grams CO2/kWh; in "percent talk," just about 1000% higher than France's 59 grams CO2/kWh.
One way to reduce carbon emissions is to fire people from their jobs and close the plants where they work. It's called "exporting pollution."
It's a widely used shell game.
