Stakeholders in coal exit debate stuck in established lines of reasoning
Energy Research & Social Science
The stakeholders in Germany’s ongoing coal exit debate “still form coalitions with traditional allies and cling to established lines of reasoning,” according to a paper written by Anna Leipprand and Christian Flachsland, and published in Energy Research & Social Science. But the authors perceive “indications for a beginning disintegration of the status quo-defending coalition.” Core actors in the debate emphasise risks and threats, making it more difficult for those pushing for a regime change to offer a positive story, according to the article’s abstract.
