Digging up coal may well be a “strange decision” for a country such as Botswana that has vast solar resources, as Joeri Rogelj at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria says (5 October, p 7). But we should also be concerned by countries such as Greece, which also has vast solar resources but is mining The EU needs to persuade the Greek government to implement a solar power revolution and reject support for a coal sector that campaigners describe as a backdoor subsidy, in violation of EU electricity market rules.
