You have been misinformed, or you didn't do any research. Germany's coal usage was 407 million tons in 1991, and today it's 257 million tons.[1] The last new coal plant was finished last year. "What is expected to be the last new coal plant to come online in Germany entered commercial operation on May 30, more than a decade after it was first planned... The government last year said it would close all 84 of its coal-fired power plants by 2038 as the country moves toward cleaner sources of electricity."[2] Spain is also in a similar phase: "Spain has recently made headlines with good climate news. In May, the government announced plans for full decarbonization. At the beginning of July, half of the country’s coal plants were retired. REN21 analyst Duncan Gibb explains why this is the moment for governments to understand that spending taxpayer money to keep fossil fuel infrastructure afloat is a sunk investment."[3] [1] https://www.worldometers.info/coal/germany-coal/ https://www.worldometers.info/coal/germany-coal/ [2] https://www.powermag.com/germany-brings-last-new-coal-plant-online/ https://www.powermag.com/germany-brings-last-new-coal-plant-...
