Germany should phase out coal mining by 2038
Germany should end all coal mining for electricity production by 2038, a government-appointed commission said yesterday, laying out a roadmap to phase out the polluting fuel. The transition is expected to cost up to 80 billion euros ($91 billion) over 20 years. Coal accounted for more than 30 percent of Germany's energy mix in 2018, putting it neck-and-neck with renewables like solar and wind energy.
