• A. Germany
• B. France
• C. U. S. A.
• D. Canada

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

One among the major economies to phase out both coal-based and atomic energy-based power generation is Germany. Germany has embarked on an ambitious project of transitioning its energy production from nuclear and fossil fuels to renewable sources. This is known as the "Energiewende" or energy transition policy.

Germany's decision was influenced by the desire to reduce CO2 emissions and increase sustainable energy usage, along with the public sentiment against nuclear power heightened after incidents like the Fukushima disaster. Germany planned to shut down all nuclear power plants by 2022 and gradually phase out coal by 2038.

Country	Energy Policy
Germany	Phasing out both coal-based and atomic energy
France	Primarily relies on nuclear power
U.S.A.	Mixed energy policy with continued use of coal and nuclear
Canada	Utilizes hydroelectric power significantly
