No need of sarcasm here. Or going the route of a false dichotomy.

Again, not all dependencies can be eliminated. But it is better to have less dependencies.

Closing nuclear plants in Germany was a disaster, and here we agree.

One of those dependencies w.r.t large solar panel buildouts, will be charcoal. [0] And lots of it.
