What the poorly phrased sentence is trying to say is that, of the energy generated in Germany, for every 100TWh of energy produced from from natural gas, 80Twh of nuclear was produced. While this may seem like a lot of nuclear power, it really isn't. If we look at their energy consumption [0], nuclear produced power accounts for maybe 10%. the overwhelming majority is from coal, oil, and gas. Compare that to France where something like 40-50% is from nuclear [1].
