Compensation payments to operators of coal-fired power stations?
Why is that?
With the compensation payments to coal-fired power stations, those who have caused the damage to our planet are compensated by those who suffer from it. But it should be the other way round!

The timetable for the coal phase-out envisages a coal phase-out by 2038, or earlier if possible. The compensation payments to coal-fired power stations are paid from tax money and therefore by all of us.
