In 2005, critics of a phase-out in Germany argued that the power output from the nuclear power stations will not be adequately compensated and predict an energy crisis. They also predicted that only coal-powered plants could compensate for nuclear power and that CO 2 emissions would increase tremendously (with the use of oil and fossils ...

Coal in Europe is a term describing the use of coal as an energy source in Europe, including both thermal coal used for power generation and coking coal used for steel production. Coal power generation in the European Union (EU) has decreased by almost one-third since 2012, consistent with their commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 ...
Beginning in 1917, steam locomotives, which consume large amounts of fuel (wood, coal, and later oil) and even more water, were gradually retired and replaced by diesel from the 1920s. Railway electrification started in the 1880s onwards, which required much more infrastructure (for power generation, grid, and Overhead lines ) before electric ...
Germany has become one of the leaders in the efforts to fulfil the Kyoto protocol.
