Germany to phase out coal use by 2038

Ministers are clear coal mines will disappear and that renewable sources of energy are the answer.

Germany says it is sending a signal to the world that coal is dying.

The country is planning to stop using natural resources in generating energy.

But experts say the pace of the government’s plan is too slow.

As Al Jazeera’s Dominic Kane reports, some fear that by not phasing out coal fast enough, communities will be destroyed.
