Germanies currently installed photo voltaic systems have the power output of 21 nuclear reactors on sunny days.

  And still rely on france to provide nuclear power when it isn't.

    Germany relying on France is not a bad thing at all. It is called European integration. We do it in other areas, too, because the benefits way outweigh the costs. They could for example crash our currency or stop to sell us food. We could not feed us on our own. Remember, Germany is tiny by US standards. Somebody has to be the first mover. Once France follows, we will provide them with renewable energy of the finest quality.

      No one is complaining about one country cooperating with another, they're simply pointing out that Germany isn't as nuclear free as some claim as it uses nuclear energy from France on days when it's not "sunny".

        No one claims that Germany is nuclear free, because they still have their own nuclear power plants.
