We already can see that France produces less than half the CO2 that Germany does, per year. So, it is absolutely unequivocal that France's strategy was and continues to be better. Even if it takes the French 20 more years than Germany to get to fully renewable, they will still be better for the environment. CO2 is additive, so every ton (or, at this scale, every hundred million tons) you don't emit today is a massive win.
And don't expect Germany to actually hit any of its targets for renewables. Operating a fully renewable grid in a continental country so far up north is not an easy thing to do.
