>BERLIN (AP) — German energy company RWE said Tuesday that it will phase out the burning of coal by 2030, saving 280 million metric tons of climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions.
>The decision will accelerate the closure of some of Europe’s most polluting power plants and a vast lignite strip mine in western Germany.
>The government argues this is necessary to ensure energy security amid the fallout of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
*saving 280 million metric tons of climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions*
Fuck that. It should be mentioned how much radioactive material will not be released in the air by doing this. This would be over roughly 1200 curies not released in the environment. No idea how many rems that is.
Better late than never, I guess.
