"German coalition divided over gas boiler ban proposal"

The German coalition government is facing a crisis over plans to ban gas boilers as part of the country's energy transition to combat climate change. The proposal has been met with resistance from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a key member of the coalition, who argue that the ban would be too expensive for homeowners. The Green Party, also part of the coalition, has pushed for the ban as part of their climate goals. The disagreement highlights the challenges of balancing climate action with economic concerns in government policy.
