Guardian: Germany agreed on Thursday to mothball about five of the countrys largest brown coal power plants to meet its climate goals by 2020, after months of wrangling between the parties in chancellor Angela Merkels coalition. But Merkel and the leaders of her two junior coalition partners also, in effect, agreed to set up a capacity reserve system where utilities could switch on the brown coal plants if there were power shortages in the country. An economy ministry spokesman said the decision on brown...

Which Power Plants Emitted the Most Mercury?

But since the regulation went into effect earlier this year, many power plants have already installed equipment reducing mercury, a neurotoxin linked to lower IQs and other...
