Question: Are there any books (in English, German, or Italian) which detail the trade network of Renaissance/early Modern #Venice in Germany and the German-speaking regions of the European Alps?

I am particularly interested in the flow of raw materials from #mining flowing into Venice.

While #coal plants once generated nearly half of America’s #electricity, they produced just 16% last year. Hundreds of coal plants have retired since the mid-2000s as utilities switched to #NaturalGas, #wind & #solar power. Stricter #regulations on #air & #water #pollution have also made burning coal more expensive. Coal #mining, which has been linked to significant air pollution & water contamination as well as #BlackLung #disease in coal miners, has also faced increased federal restrictions.

#Coal use has been declining sharply in the #US since 2005, displaced in many cases by #cheaper & cleaner #NaturalGas, #wind & #solar power.

But in a series of steps aimed at improving the economics of coal, the #Interior Dept said it would open 13.1M acres of #federal #land for coal #mining & reduce royalty rates companies need to pay to extract coal. The #Energy Dept said it would offer $625M to upgrade existing coal plants, which have been closing at a fast clip, to extend their life spans.

‘Mine, Baby, Mine’: #Trump Officials Offer $625 Million to Rescue #Coal

The Trump admin on Monday outlined a coordinated plan to revive the mining & burning of coal, the largest contributor to #ClimateChange worldwide.

The new effort, which includes opening 13.1 million acres of #federal #land for #mining & eliminating #pollution limits, aims to save an industry that has been declining for decades.
