Renewables are the cheapest source of power and can be scaled up significantly faster than nuclear, while having none of the risks.
Power in Germany is expensive mostly due to gas and lack of storage capacity. Check back in four years when the storage capacity has gone up tenfold.

Also a source of energy that produces only when wind blows is quite useless, even if it's free. Your source of energy should produce when you have the need for it. And storage is typically something thay doesn't scale, which is why Germany needs coal or gas to complement renewables. Polluting the rest of Europe while doing so. Even the term of "renewables" is untrue, given the relatively short lifespan of most windfarms and solar panels. After 25 years you have to trash them, with no real way to recycle it.
