Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel will über den Kohleausstieg beraten. Dafür berief sie ein Spitzentreffen am 15. Januar im Kanzleramt ein.

WELZOW, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 25: Lignite coal lies near bucket-wheel excavators in the Welzow Sued open-pit lignite coal mine on September 25, 2015 near Welzow, Germany. The Welzow Sued mine feeds the Schwarze Pumpe and Jaenschwalde power stations and is owned by Vattenfall, the Swedish energy company that recently announced it will sell its eastern German coal mines and power plants. Before the communist government of East Germany collapsed in 1989 open-pit coal mines were a vital source of employment in the region and their decline has pulled the local economy down with them. 25 years since German reunification eastern Germany is struggling with a low birth rate, rural emigration and unemployment rates higher than in western Germany. The Welzow Sued mine is one of five left in the Lausatz region from 17 that existed in 1989. It is scheduled to remain in operation until 2042.
