    Three plants from RWE and LEAG in stand-by to be switched on

    Measure should help nation save gas, economy ministry says

    Germany will bring several mothballed coal plants back to the market this winter to ensure that Europe’s largest economy can keep the lights on when demand peaks.

    An order to allow the renewed activation of units belonging to RWE AG and
    LEAG was passed by the cabinet on Wednesday, according to an economy
    ministry release. The move should help save gas and prevent supply
    shortages in the upcoming heating season, it said.

    Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
