The exit from coal-fired power generation by 2030, which the possible new federal government is aiming for, meets with criticism from CDU federal chairman Armin Laschet.
"If you promise people in 2019, it is 2038 with a clear schedule and there are 40 billion structural funds to create new jobs, you can't say a year later, everything no longer applies, we are now doing 2030," said Laschet on Wednesday at a congress of the industrial union IG BCE in Hanover.
Hanover - “The Coal Commission was so far-sighted as to say that we are going to take several steps up to that point, and if the security of supply is guaranteed, then it will be faster.
But only then. ”Laschet emphasized that the phase-out of coal-fired power generation could possibly also succeed in 2030, in the west rather than in the east of Germany.
