I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

      I originally read it as “Germany says ‘Fuck wind as an alternative energy source’ and begins reverting back to coal”, so I figured I’d clarify in case anyone end thought the same thing.

      Doesn’t seem like this article indicates that Germans is giving up on alternative energy.

      Edit: corrected dumb spelling mistake.
