You're also burning lignite coal now, which you take from Africa who is now having blackouts. But it went pretty poorly overall phasing out nuclear for renewables.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Germany

Key to Germany's energy policies and politics is the Energiewende, meaning "energy turnaround" or "energy transformation". The policy includes nuclear phaseout (completed in 2023) and progressive replacement of fossil fuels by renewables. However, contrary to plan, the nuclear electricity production lost in Germany's phase-out was primarily replaced with coal electricity production and electricity importing. One study found that the nuclear phase-out caused $12 billion in social costs per year, primarily due to increases in mortality due to exposure to pollution from fossil fuels.

We always used lignite. And its share is down from 45% of electric power production in 2013 to 15% in 2024. 60% of our electricity was produced by renewables in 2024, a new record. And that's although the conservatives sabotaged renewables for over a decade.
