They seem to have a very optimistic view on "closing" coal plants. E.g. all the plants in germany are colored as "closing".
Germany has a vague plan for coal phaseout in 2038, which is a) still almost 20 years in the future and b) not in any way binding yet, it's jut a vague plan.
(I do hope and actually believe that coal plants in germany will be closed much earlier than 2038 though...)
- Krasnol 7y agoThere is nothing vague about it and it may even happen earlier and nobody is talking about it happening later or not at all.
- Dumblydorr 7y agoThey will be closed earlier. Renewables and batteries will be cheaper than existing coal before 2038, meaning replacement will cost less than running these old plants.
