so won’t need to order the shutdown of any plants for a second year running
Absolute idiots in our government. “We overachieved, so lets stop doing anything until we are behind schedule again.” My guy, we are already loooong behind schedule on climate change, just keep going. Fucking idiots.
some large lignite-burning plants that are connected to mining operations have been given more time to shut down to mitigate job losses
Those mining operations barely employ any real amount of people at this point. You can easily just pay those people with tax money for a transfer period and it would still save money for the taxpayer overall.

you do not think that those people are able to use arithmetics for calculating that do you?
They sure are able to use arithmetics. After all Stanislaw Tillich who negotiate the German coal exit got a board job on the lignite company MIBRAG sooner after leaving politics.
