Maybe only looking at the increase of energy production from coal is a bit short-sighted, though. Running a large number of nuclear plants could undermine the impetus to sufficiently and timely invest into expanding renewable energy production and the related infrastructure. Of course, it is quite some gamble, but if Germany gets it done as planned they will have a competitive advantage in a couple of decades, while other countries are struggling with aging nuclear plants and cost explosions for new ones. France is already an example for both issues.
