    This is the German plan:

    1. Shutdown the nuclear plants
    2. Burn more lignite
    3. WFH

    The council said assumptions made by the transport ministry on the effectiveness of the planned and already implemented measures, such as a discounted national rail ticket, a CO2 surcharge on truck tolls and increased working from home, were also optimistic. "Private vehicle individual transport is not addressed, so to speak. And that is ultimately a gap in the transport programme," Brigitte Knopf, deputy chairwoman of the council, told a news conference presenting the report findings on Tuesday

    The plan for transportation emissions, 2/3 of the target to be cut, is WFH. Yikes!

      Funny, because the energy sector was the only on track to fulfill the targets. Last year it even overshot its targets and is expected to again save more CO2 as planned in 2023.

      Maybe, just maybe, its more relevant that other sectors are managed by the FDP (market liberals) and SPD (social democrats), while energy is managed by die Grünen (greens).

        Do you know about the transportation sector? It is where 2/3 of Germanys planned reduction is.
