If Germany's eco-protesters are serious, maybe they should protest the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

From Wikipedia:

> Nord Stream has a total annual capacity of 55 billion m3 (1.9 trillion cu ft) of gas, and the addition of Nord Stream 2 is expected to double this capacity to a total of 110 billion m3 (3.9 trillion cu ft).

CO2 emission of natural gas is 53.12 kg per thousand cubic feet [1], so the additional 2.0 trillion cubic feet of Nord Stream 2 translates to ~106,000,000 tons of CO2 per year. Germany emitted 775,752,190 tons of CO2 in 2016, so it's a significant fraction of Germany's whole emission.

...Alternatively, they could go back twenty years and tell those anti-nuclear activists to shove it, but since time travel is impossible, I'll settle for not building more pipelines in 2021.
