Heartbreaking — I was lucky enough to work for and with Joe for years writing and editing ClimateProgress. He taught me so much about climate science, energy technology, editing, communication, persuasion, and even parenthood. Thinking of his family in these days.

Germany's coal phase-out is flying ahead! 🚀 For the third time, the Federal Network Agency won't have to order plant shutdowns because they're closing faster than legally required. A clear win for cleaner energy! #Germany #EnergyTransition #ClimateProgress
German Federal Network Agency does not have to order shutdown of coal fired power plants for the third time in a row, as coal plants are shutting down faster than legally required.
The German Federal Network Agency regularly reviews if the country is on track to exit coal fired electricity production within the timeline set by law. In case there are more power plants active than required by the coal exit law, they can order them to be shut down within 30 months. Once again this has not been necessary, as coal plants are shutting down faster than legally required due to age and economic pressure, meaning the exit from coal is well ahead of schedule.
