But coal is the current alternative to nuclear power. A day may come when solar and wind will be, but it is not this day.

  That's just a big fat lie. Even in Germany, the country you malign so much, coal power generation did not increase in the last few years. Not even when transitioning from Russian natural gas.

      Yes, I'm slightly wrong on a three-month time period last year. The numbers I had were for complete years... Still doesn't negate my point that coal is going to be phased out and that coal generation wasn't ramped up as nuclear power was ramped down. There is just no clear relation.
