Germany is trying to lower its CO₂ emissions by phasing out coal-based electricity production through the forced closure of coal power plants. Why is this policy, even if it is successful in lowering Germany's CO2 emissions, unlikely to result in lower emissions at the European scale? O This policy does nothing to address the emissions from the transportation sector, which far outweigh those of coal O CO₂ produced in Germany stays in Germany, and thus has no bearing on the European scale. O Germany has already made substantial reductions to its CO₂ output, so that it is a small player on the European scale. O Germany is a member of the European Emissions Trading System (ETS), which sets a binding cap on greenhouse gas emissions. O Coal power production in Germany has become extremely efficient, so that its CO₂ footprint is insubstantial.
