The article misses the important factor of war.

Germany has coal in their ground, quite a lot. In case of a war, Germany doesn't need to get coal from anywhere but from themselves.

Nuclear material is much more complicated to get.

Which makes maintaining coal infrastructure more reasonable from a military perspective.

Also nuclear reactors are great military targets....

Coal is being phased out as well

They will phase it out but they will keep them ready enough to use.

It would be stupid not, they're probably a lot easier to reactivate then nuclear power plants
