The Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND) in Saxony has warned against dragging out the coal phase-out.
"Instead of slowing down an early coal phase-out at EU and federal level, Saxony should rather speed up the energy transition there," said BUND boss Felix Ekardt on Monday in Dresden.
According to studies for the CDU-led Federal Ministry of Economics, renewable energies would provide more added value than coal for Lusatia:
Leipzig - "An exit by 2030 is socially acceptable and economically possible, but you have to want it."
Ekardt reacted to the latest statements by the Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU).
He called on a new federal government to adhere to the contract when it comes to the exit from coal.
"We have special interests in Central Germany that jobs are not simply lost and that we get a shock in the region," he said last Sunday "MDR Aktuell".
In addition, Germany needs a sustainable energy supply.
In the ARD program "Report from Berlin", Kretschmer confirmed his demand on Sunday.
There are laws and agreements in place for the end of coal-fired power generation by 2038.
“And they can't be canceled so quickly now.
Whom should one still believe something?
Who should the citizen believe anything else? ”He hopes that Olaf Scholz will assert himself as Chancellor on the subject against the Greens.
