Nobody needs to use coal. Gas turbines are better in every way. Germany's addiction to coal is political not technological. Renewables are part of the solutions but what makes up the rest will depend on where you live. The solution for Sweden won't be the same as the solution for Hawaii. It's hard to talk generally on the internet about this because it only makes sense to discuss power generation in a particular place.
