Another fact is that Germany was producing over 36% of its energy using coal plants in Q3 last year.

That is 207 GW. Which gives some perspective about how far away GE is from completely relying on renewable energy, this 13 GW next year is very little.
4 GW from nuclear energy is also not much, but it still is a lot cleaner than burning coal.
- oezi 4y agoThere absolutly is a lot of work ahead, but the discussion about keeping nuclear needs to be put into perspective. When we got 207 GW of coal why are we talking about those 4 GW of Nuclear at all?
