In German, but look e.g. at the third graph in https://www.wind-energie.de/themen/zahlen-und-fakten/deutsch... . Shows the total and newly installed wind power (better than the second graph showing the number of new turbines, because turbines have gotten bigger).
For solar, look at: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/29264/umfrage... the numbers for 2020/2021 unfortunately are missing. They're better, but by far not back to 2010-2012.
Eventually somebody running a plant will screw up, and when they do, the harm will be worse than a wind tower falling over.
Plus Germany's car industry is joined at the hip with ICE. If you waved a magic wand and made Germany's car industry electric hundreds of highly specialized parts for internal combustion engines.

Edit: Removed snark.
German government decided to shut down nuclear power plant in response to protests after Fukushima disaster.
Also, your statement that it is in response to Fukushima, but somehow not about the perceived danger of nuclear power, makes no sense.
Targeted investment in improved insulation and heat pumps should help remedy this issue, if they can pull it off. It will also help with the inevitable future heat waves, given that heat pumps also can act as cooling systems when home temperature needs become reversed during the summer.
If it had only installed renewables and also kept nuclear power, the situation would be a lot better.
It's nice to finally see the slap in the face of the German grid policy that everyone was predicting 10 years ago, I'm just sad that so many lives had to be taken and will be taken just so that they finally start to get it.
Every country in the world is moving to renewable, Germany is not special at all.
One thing has nothing to do with the other.
Germany is pushing for renewable and has not transitioned to it.
It is depending on Russia for 30% or so in gas. It has this problem because the transition is not done and Fukushima pushed the faster end of nuclear power.
Which is understandable when you remember Tschernobyl and how dense populated Germany is.
I drive by isar nuclear power plant by train since I remember. While it looks interesting it's also frightening when you see how little real knowledge or excercise anyone had when Tschernobyl happened and when Fukushima happened.
Also given how densely populated Germany is, it's wildly irresponsible that they operate so many coal plants, it's literally killing thousands every year. Even if they had a Chernobyl style disaster every 10 years it would still be a lot safer than the way they're generating power right now.
Both Chernobyl and Fukushima were disasters.
It just so happened that Fukushima also was the final straw.
Similarly, there was a person eaten by a shark at my local beach last week. Everyone is asking 'how can you swim?'. The last death by a shark was 1963.
And they are very non rational about it. Arguments are based on emotion, not reason.
Turning of existing working plants and replacing them with more coal is borderline insane.
In my opinion Germany would be much better of today if they had invested huge amount of money in nuclear plants instead of transitioning to renewables.
