The two entities have now been assigned emissions reductions targets, putting them on course to reach net zero in coming decades. "AGL doesn’t even get a golf clap for its timid token effort in delaying the closure timeline for Loy Yang A, Australia’s worst-polluting coal-burning power station, to 2045," Greenpeace's senior campaigner Glenn Walker said
