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.

The announcement marked a significant shift for Europe’s largest country — a nation that had long been a leader on cutting CO2 emissions before turning into a laggard in recent years and badly missing its reduction targets. Coal plants account for 40% of Germany’s electricity, itself a reduction from recent years when coal dominated power production.

“This is an historic accomplishment,” said Ronald Pofalla, chairman of the 28-member govt commission, at a news conference in Berlin following a marathon 21-hour negotiating session that concluded at 6 a.m. Saturday. The breakthrough ended seven months of wrangling...

With Merkel and the enviro wacko party about to be shown the door this will never come to fruition..
So tell me why they are building 60 clean coal power plants for? It sure as hell isn't for show...

Coal will make a comeback. Trust me.

China probably has 8,400 coal plants

Well let's see.... Right now China is producing roughly one terawatt. That's 1 x 10 to the 12th.....since the average size of the plants is 2500 megawatts 2.5 x 10 to the 9th...

(1x10^12)/(2.5x10^9) = 400.....

Yeah that's a lot actually. But you have to consider that they are still building them
Like a bitch on fire and not just in China either.....they are building coal plants all over the world! Big ones. Laughing their asses off in Paris. What a farce.... This is why Trump got out of the Accord because it's a meaningless joke.

[justoffal]

No, it won't

We'll see .... At the pace that China and India
are gowing their coal fired generation...
Nah.....it's already here dude. But hey
I'm all for Tokomak ASAP!
Jo

 

[Crick]

Tokomaks will be nice.

 

[HenryBHough]

Actually what they're hiding is the fact that they are buying huge blocks of power from France's nuke plant system. Remember...Merkel is a nuclear engineer......

Jo

But certainly no rocket scientist.

 

[justoffal]

Tokomaks will be nice.

From your lips to God's ears....that will be a glorious day.

"Over the next 19 years....."

Lol....we'll see if the German people will continue to vote in politicians that blast their butts with big bumpy's. We'll see how long the mega expensive electric bills will be ok with the people!!

The OP doesn't think there are any politics involved here!

Coal will be dominating for decades......because it has to!

 

[skookerasbil]

Because 19 years is a reality-based number but AOC's comment that America's youth "fear that the world will end in 12 years" was hyperbole.

So if 19 is a reality-based #, these discussions in here are a waste of time s0n!!

Exxxxxxxxxxxactly.

For as long as we're burning hydrocarbons you're not going to knock coal out of it's very valuable place.

Because more expensive power is better.

Natural gas and renewables are a less expensive alternative douchebag.

Yes.....you will find many climate crusaders do not have real responsibilities in life. They can afford to engage in Disney group navel contemplation sessions all the time.

He or she certainly hasn't looked at a gas bill any time in the recent past that's for damn sure.
