Not sure how it made it into the news, but not surprised.

Excerpts:
In a subsequent tweet, Phillips wrote, "Germany -- which gets 66% of their gas from Russia -- is now so desperate for energy that they're dimming street lights at night, restricting hot water use, and shutting down swimming pools."

"Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands announced plans this week to prepare to resurrect old coal plants as gas supplies dwindled

"European countries, which outlawed non-green energy over the last three decades, are now resurrecting COAL PLANTS just to survive."

Huge demand overseas...

All that excess coal...
