Green state MP says Belgium should get coal power for shutting down nuclear plant
Germany should provide Belgium with power from coal plants in exchange for Brussels鈥� commitment to shut down the old nuclear plants Doel and Tihange near the German border, Green state MP Hans Christian Markert, from the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), proposed, according to Rheinische Post. 鈥淟ignite will be mined in the Rhine district until at least 2045,鈥� Markert said. Since a new power converter will soon provide the state of Baden-W眉rttemberg with Rhenish coal power as a replacement for the state鈥檚 gradually decommissioned nuclear plants, the same coal power could be sent across the border to Belgium 鈥渢o assist nuclear exit in both plants鈥�, Markert explained.
