> Pretty sure Germany runs on wind solar and nuclear.

Nuclear is pretty much dead. Unfortunately, nuclear was considered much worse than coal couple of years ago (and is still) so shutting down nuclear had and has priority.

As for wind, solar and water: Most of the time, it is utilized 100%. Every extra consumer of power means more coal or gas has to be burned.

Germany is phasing out of nuclear, only 7 plants left. They use solar and wind energy, combined with coal.

They can't produce enough with solar and wind so they have to keep burning coal which produces even more CO2.
