We are talking about spinning up coal and nuclear again...

Natural gas would be preferable to fracking gas, but I guess political reasons will top environmental ones.

The extraction of oil and gas in Siberia is far from environmentally friendly but we don't care because it is far away. Europe prefers to externalise it's pollution.

Agreed. Burning gas is far from environmental friendly. It might be choosing the lesser evil if at all.

We could also change to electric heating and burn lignite again of course.
