Sure... they turn up coal power to result in the lowest coal use ever.

Just like they shut down reactors that produced laughable 2,6% of all electricity that year, yet those reactors (ones that were replaced by renewables even) could have single-handedly reduced their emissions by massive amounts.

Just like they never actually used more than a few percent of gas in electricity production (because they only use gas as short-time peak burners to compensate supply/demand spikes and that's really expensive even when gas was cheap) but somehow were so completely dependent on gas to not sit in the dark that they started to burn even more coal... again while actually massively reducing coal.

I don't know if it's magic or advanced quantum mechanics allowing them to do the polar opposite of the popular narratives every single time...

...or you are just brain-washed to believe every lie about Germany again and again. Hmm... No, that sounds unrealistic. It's probalby the magic thing.
