Lignite is extracted in the extreme western and eastern parts of the country, mainly in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Sachsen and Brandenburg. Considerable amounts are burned in coal plants near the mining areas to produce electricity and transporting lignite over far distances is not economically feasible; therefore, the plants are located near the extraction sites.[16]
Bituminous coal is mined in Nordrhein-Westfalen and Saarland. Most power plants burning bituminous coal operate on imported material, therefore, the plants are located not only near to the mining sites, but throughout the country.[16]

Germany seeks to reduce its dependency on coal, not just because of pollution, but also because they don't have enough of it anyway, and what they have is mainly low quality lignite.
Gas and oil production are fractions of what they use.
Germany therefore is a massive fossil fuel importer.
Which proves my point.
And you say it is BS because of what?
