Germany will Phase Out Coal Mining While Trump Calls Coal BEAUTIFUL
US President Donald Trump advocates for reviving the coal mining industry and often calls coal "beautiful"! But this week German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country would withdraw from coal-fired power production by 2038, showing her support for the deadline recommended by a government-appointed commission.
The proposals highlight Germany’s shift to renewables, which made up more than 40 percent of its energy mix last year, surpassing coal for the first time.
The so-called coal commission said last month that Germany should shut down all of its coal-fired power plants by 2038 at the latest and proposed at least 40 billion euros ($45.7 billion) in aid to coal-mining states affected by the phase-out.
