We (the people of Munich) tried to get our local coal plant to close in 2022. We voted last year and the outcome was essentially ignored. Now it will shut down in 2030. Too little, too late. And Munich could have afforded it easily.

But to replace it with what? I assume not with solar and wind, as that would mean that you won't have electricity on windstill nights.

  Solar, wind, storage and an improved grid. It's always windy somewhere.

  Even modern natural gas plants would have just half the emissions.
