Coal Regions To Receive Assistance Under EU Green Deal

NEUPETERSHAIN, GERMANY - JANUARY 15: A giant machine called a spreader dumps earth transported on a conveyor from an active section of the mine behind at the Welzow Sued open-pit lignite coal mine on January 15, 2020 near Neupetershain, Germany. The European Union Parliament today approved an ambitious plan called the "Green Deal" to funnel EUR one trillion from private and public sources over the next ten years into measures to meet ambitious emissions reduction targets. The policy also calls for support for Europe's coal-mining regions to make the economic transition away from coal. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
