Germany has announced a €20 billion investment in renewable energy projects as part of its plan to phase out coal by 2030. The government said new wind farms will be developed across the North Sea, while solar panels will expand in southern states like Bavaria.
The decision comes as Germany tries to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels after the Russia-Ukraine war disrupted gas supplies. Experts say the shift could create more than 200,000 new jobs and make Germany a global leader in green technology. Environmental groups welcomed the move, though critics argue that energy prices may remain high in the short term.
