Wait wait wait, lets get off coal, unless its too hard (costly) of course. Who didn't see this coming - citizens value energy costs over the environment every damn time. If Japan and Germany are back tracking, how do we expect India, China, etc. to follow suit?
Fossil fuels are going to be a very large part of energy mix for the rest of our lives.

Energy ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) major democracies will sign a deal to end the use of coal in power generation between 2030 and 2035, but could offer a leeway to Germany and Japan, two diplomatic sources said on Tuesday.
This caveat would give room to maneuver to Berlin and Tokyo, whose coal-fired plants produce more than one-fourth of their total electricity, sources said.
