Reply to comment by BloodIsTaken in Germany plans to destroy this village for a coal mine. Thousands are gathering to stop it by LaminatedDenim

The phase out policy was introduced in 1998. It was cancelled, but then re-introduced in 2011, which is still over a decade ago.

So like I said before, the shutting down of old plants could have coincided with the building of new ones.

It at least seems that German energy experts agree on the following: Would the CDU followed the plan payed down by the spd/ green government - renewable mercy would have been enough to phase out coal and nuclear. But the CDU and the states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg would actually need to stop dragging their feet in that department.
