It's also that Germany has a reputation for being the eco-friendly country, while in fact not really caring about its climate impact from some very important domains : high-carbon electricity, heavy polluting industry.

Renewables up 6% in two years, more than compensating for the shut down nuclear power sources. Fossils are shifting to natural gas which (so I've heard) is supposed to be the least bad of them (and fossils' grand total is also going down). It's not all roses, given our inept politicians, but it's far from horrible.
- bdauvergne 7y agoCompared to France low carbon electricity, the numbers are not good. Germany will never reach french level without nuclear energy.
- pgeorgi 7y agoRight now the numbers disagree with your assertion about future development: energy creation is shifting away from _both_ fossil sources and nuclear.
