Back to COAL?

It looks like European countries will have to switch to coal to meet their energy needs. Yea, black ugly coal. Also, predictions are that gas in the US will be at $6 a gallon by Labor Day.

The sniff test suggest that there indeed was collusion with Russia, and it was between Biden and Putin.

It was Germany who raised that possibility for itself, not Europe generally; and not "back to coal" but continuing to use coal for longer and in larger quantities than they had intended.

If a country has already abandoned using coal it won't be able to revert, certainly not rapidly and easily. You can't just switch oil- or gas- fired power-stations to solid fuels without a lot of heavy modifying, especially if their existing boilers were never built to burn coal.

So not " switching to" or "going back to", coal.
