Germany to close all 84 of its coal-fired power plants, will rely primarily on renewable energy
Germany, one of the world’s biggest consumers of coal, will shut down all 84 of its coal-fired power plants over the next 19 years to meet its international commitments in the fight against climate change, a government commission said Saturday.I didn't see any fine print in this article but, beware when reading the phrase "renewable energy". Many European countries are switching to burning trees (chips and pellets) after deciding that doing so is carbon neutral. And where are the chips and pellets coming from? At least in part from the clear-cutting of bottomland hardwood forests in the south east U.S.
Note that other coverage of this January announcement points out this is only for electricity, not heating/cooking/etc. and that "Merkel... said that, as the country ditches coal and closes its last nuclear plants in 2022, “we will need more natural gas."" And the US frackers are looking to supply it "Germany is expected to add four terminals to import liquefied natural gas over the next four years, significantly increasing Europe’s capacity to receive LNG and potentially opening a large market for American natural gas and Gulf Coast exporters." www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/26/germany-agrees-to-end-reliance-on-coal-stations-by-2038
