508 g CO2/kwh as of this writing.

As of this writing the same figure for France is 79 g CO2/kwh.

Apparently Germany feels it isn't "too dangerous" to dump highly toxic coal fly ash and the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide directly into the planetary atmosphere when the wind isn't blowing.

I mean, it's not their fault the wind doesn't blow continuously.

A screen shot from about 10 minutes ago when it was 504 g CO2/kwh.
