Hmm, Germany is relying ever more on coal power
One of Germany’s newest coal-fired power plants rises here from the banks of a 100-year-old canal that once shipped coal mined from the Ruhr Valley to the world... The 750-megawatt Trianel Kohlekraftwerk Luenen GmbH & Co. power plant relies completely on coal imports, about half from the U.S...
Coal mining’s demise in Germany comes as the country is experiencing a resurgence in coal-fired power.
Last year, Germany’s carbon dioxide emissions grew by 1.2 percent, in large part because the country burned more coal.
