> Several thousand Germans die each year due to pollution from coal-fired power plants.

Do you have a source for this?



Sure, here: https://www.euractiv.com/section/health-consumers/news/repor...

Quick summary of figures: in 2013, Germany suffered 1,860 deaths due to coal plants in Germany, 1,770 deaths due to coal plants in other countries, and German coal plants also caused 2,490 deaths in other countries.

There are probably too many significant figures on those numbers, but the general idea of "several thousand" should be more or less right.
