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‘

I'm struggling to understand this metaphor

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.

Australia.

Where the coal comes from and what your country does with it ain't our problem. We'll even discount you if you're going through it quick enough.
