It seems to me that that the harms from power generation increases only in logarithmic proportion to the amount of energy generated for nuclear (adding a few more hundred tonnes of waste to an existing storage facility doesn't really increase harm all that much), in linear proportions for renewables (more hills must be covered with wind turbines to generate more energy), and for fossil fuels the harm is to some degree in an exponential relationship due to the feedback effects of increasing carbon dioxide. Unfortunately I don't think the world is in a position to give up nuclear just yet, and Germany certainly isn't.
