Aren't they building new coal(!!!) power plants recently?
- hannob 2y agoNo, unless you count 2009 as "recently", which was the time when the last coal power plant construction in Germany started (GKM 9). And yes, that was a mistake. But it was certainly not "recently". In 2020, the last coal power plant was connected to the grid (Datteln 4). It was delayed, as it wasn't clear for quite a while whether it was even legal. But the decisions that have been made to build these plants were made 15-20 years ago.
- starspangled 2y agoIt could be recent expansion of coal mines and recommissioning old plants that you're thinking of.
