Energy experts of Germany鈥檚 grand coalition of conservatives (CDU/CSU) and Social Democrats (SPD) have rebuffed the Green Party鈥檚 plans for an accelerated coal exit. 鈥淲e cannot phase out both nuclear and coal-fired power production within 15 or 20 years,鈥� conservative Thomas Barei脽 said at a party debate hosted by utilities RWE and innogy. Barei脽 argued that exiting coal 鈥渨ith a sledgehammer-approach鈥� would 鈥渕assively damage鈥� Germany鈥檚 industrial capacity and undermine the 鈥渂asis of our prosperity鈥�. The SPD鈥檚 Bernd Westphal said his party would put 鈥渘o signature鈥� under a hypothetical coalition treaty with the Greens that included an accelerated coal exit. Westphal said the energy transition affected 鈥渁 very diverse array of interests鈥� and limiting debate to climate protection was 鈥渨rong鈥�. The Green Party鈥檚 Julia Verlinden said accelerating Germany鈥檚 coal exit was 鈥渁 red line鈥� for her party as 鈥渢here is simply no other way to meet our climate goals鈥�. She rejected the other parties鈥� insistence on a market-based approach for exiting coal as 鈥渢here is no market because carbon emission costs are not internalised鈥�. Verlinden added that a coal exit was inevitable and taking action now would 鈥渋ncrease our flexibility and allow for better adaptation鈥� by affected industries. In their draft election programme, the Greens envisage a coal exit by 2030.
