Germany has not reopened coal-fired power plants in the manner suggested by U.S. President Donald Trump. While some lignite (brown coal) plants were temporarily reactivated during the 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 winters to address energy shortages stemming from reduced Russian gas supplies, these measures were emergency responses and do not indicate a reversal of Germany’s commitment to phasing out coal. The German government remains committed to ending coal-fired power generation by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 . 

In fact, coal power production in Germany dropped significantly in 2023, reaching its lowest level in 60 years. Coal’s share of total net power generation fell to 26%, while renewable energy sources accounted for nearly 60% . The temporary reactivation of certain coal plants was a short-term measure to ensure energy security during periods of high demand and does not reflect a broader shift back to coal energy.

We can add that in that period, not only supply from Russia was reduced but that at the same time, the French nuclear plants suffered extra maintenance reducing exports to Germany. The way Trump presents cases is always biased by his own goals…Never trust what he tells you.

Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

He doesn’t plan on being finished.

Watch him change or even get rid of the 4 year term for presidency because he wants to be our dicktator rather than our president. Trump is such an idiot which is why he surrounds himself with smart but corrupt satanic Maggots to think for him because he’s such an idiot and he knows it. But unfortunately being an idiot and knowing it isn’t going to stop his satanic agenda. Musk is just as dangerous if not more so. And then there’s Vance. We’ve got our work cut out for us!
