How Finland has replaced coal power with wind in less than 10 years.

Power utility company Helen officially decommissioned its Salmisaari plant in Helsinki on 1 April, dropping coal to a less than 1% share of the country’s energy mix.

The closure of a coal power plant in Finland today brings the country to the brink of a full coal phase-out - four years ahead of schedule.

The carbon footprint of EVs and their growing sales require huge increases of electric power consumption,

The only way those demands can be met is by oil/coal

Nothing like driving your EV in an endless desert with your electric heat turned to MAX

Finland phases out coal, ahead of schedule:

“Imported fossil energy has been replaced with cleaner solutions that reduce climate emissions, while consumers benefit from lower energy prices”

“As Finland previously relied primarily on coal imported from Russia, the phase-out has also boosted Finland’s energy independence and, therefore, national security.”
