No. Germany already began shutting down reactors in 2011 and coal use continued to go down. The proof is in the pudding -- data beats predictions.
The rise in renewables will continue to decrease coal use. Deadline for coal is 2038, with possibly moving it to 2030.

- locallost 4y agoMakes no difference. Your claim was that Germany replaced nuclear with coal. Here are the hard numbers: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/38 https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/38... The bottom three are: black coal in magenta nuclear in gray brown coal in brown Nuclear shutdowns started in Germany in 2011. Check the numbers. BTW with what did France replace its failing reactors last year? https://apnews.com/article/europe-business-france-climate-and-environment-government-politics-1d16e1c1cb53fef03a2a77a437f8410e https://apnews.com/article/europe-business-france-climate-an...

Here are the hard numbers: Funny how these hard numbers don't answer a simple question: where does Germany get its power on a quiet night like April 15th (answer is simple: buring coal, gas, and biofuels). > BTW with what did France replace its failing reactors last year? Last year it's "failing" generators were taken of for planned maintenance. The actual failures accounted for 0.18% loss in power.
