France will close all coal plants by 2023
French President Francois Hollande said at a conference on climate change COP22 UN that all coal power plants in the country will be closed by 2023. This move is part of efforts to achieve France the status of carbon neutral countries by 2050. To achieve this goal should not be too difficult, considering that the country already receives 75 percent of its power from nuclear energy.
A new goal of making France a leader in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions and puts it ahead of the UK, which obese to stop using fossil fuel for electricity by 2025. For comparison, Germany is delaying its national program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promises to reduce them by 95% by 2050.
France does not look too positively on the newly elected President of Donald trump. In response to reports that trump will try to get out of the Paris agreement signed last year, Francois Hollande said that the signing of the agreement is "irreversible." Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy went further and suggested that France should apply the "carbon import tax" on all American goods, if trump cancelled the contract.
This is not the first time France has set itself the ambitious environmental goal. The country recently banned plastic bags and announced the upcoming ban on plastic dishes, cups and saucers by 2020, and construction began on a 28-mile bike superhighway that filter can is easily accessible from the suburbs and cross all of Paris by Bicycle. published
