The funny thing is that the end result is not that different between Germany and The Netherlands. The Netherlands has only 500 MW of nuclear power, because for historical reasons, The Netherlands didn't bother much with nuclear power to begin with. Germany has a higher percentage for electricity from renewables, because for a long time The Netherlands didn't really bother with that either. (The Netherlands is now at around 40% renewable electricity production, unfortunately that is only 15% of total energy use)
