Glencore a big winner of Germany's Colombian coal binge

The German and Colombian governments both have detailed decarbonization strategies to take on climate change. Still, the real beneficiary of this green transition is actually based in Switzerland.

Almost a year ago, when Gustavo Petro and Francia Marquez were on the verge of their election victory in Colombia, they made a historic promise to their voters during the election campaign.

The program of the left-wing Historic Pact for Colombia, a political and electoral coalition, stated that the South American country would phase out fossil fuels under their leadership.

Previously, the then environmental activist and current Vice President Marquez drew attention to the El Cerrejon coal mine with a Twitter post.

"El Cerrejon is the largest coal mine in Latin America. Still, children in La Guajira are dying from hunger and the people are not getting any help from them during the pandemic. This is so-called development," she wrote.

Recent Daily Average Mauna Loa CO2

In "percent talk" often used by antinukes who couldn't care less about the above numbers, but would rather worship their short lived trillion dollar toys made with squandered resources, 330 g CO2/kWh in that coal burning hellhole Germany is 1571% higher than that of France's 21 g CO2/kWh.

Germany produces dirty electricity, France doesn't.
