Imagine if they had been growing the nuclear instead of reducing it, it would have allowed to almost get rid of lignite and coal. Instead it is still a portion. (And solar and wind being intermittent you can't just have that)

Any chart that misses 2022 in Germany's consumption is just mendacious.

Graph only goes until 2020.

Barely. It's not really much different. For the full year 2021, about 350gCO2/kWh in Germany vs 375gCO2/kWh.

Germany spent an insane amount of money, punished the use of electricity effectively (therefore undermining their own competitiveness in EVs), caused a significantly negative impact on household finances and industrial competitiveness (to the advantage of coal-powered China) and still only gets roughly US level of cleanliness in electricity. Because they simultaneously decided to get rid of nuclear power plants. shrug

Yeah but you're breathing coal dust
