Germany pledges to phase out fossil fuels by 2045
Original: Germany pledges to phase out fossil fuels for first time with target of 2045
Germany has for the first time formally committed to phasing out fossil fuels, setting a target date of 2045. The pledge, reported by the Guardian, marks a significant shift in the country's climate policy, moving beyond its existing renewable energy and coal exit goals to an explicit commitment against oil and gas as well. Commenters are debating how realistic the timeline is for an industrial economy heavily reliant on imported energy.
Why now: It is a first-of-its-kind national commitment to ending fossil fuel use, with major implications for energy and climate policy.
