how is the chart ranging until 2022 relevant for 2023?
Germany needs to do a lot more to go fully renewable, like all countries need to do. And the conservative government under Merkel has been desastrous for the expansion of renewables.
But claiming that the remaining nuclear power that was shut off now as sheduled would have been replaced by coal is a lie.
Also Merkel didnt decide to exit nuclear in 2022. The decision was made in 2002 with the plan to ramp up renewables.Then Merkel throttled renewables and exited the exit from nuclear power only to exit the exit from the exit two years later. As a result 6 Billion Euros in “compensation” was thrown at the nuclear industry and renewables were not put back on track but left at a low burn.
If we went with the original plan wed be mostly renewable and much cheapr now, but well conservatives and “liberals” always need to fuck things over in favor of fossil industries like nuclear.
We aren’t producing enough renewables to completely switch, but the power demand still needs to be met. So the Nuclear plants are being replaced by coal power plants.
Nuclear is a necessary stepping stone until we can go 100% renewables.
We need to be fully renewable in 20 years. Starting new nuclear projects now will not solve anything as these projects take 10-20 years.
The demand is flexible and can be adjusted to the supply for the most part. The remaining part can be solved with power to X conversion like hydrogen or other chemical energy carriers.
That is bullshit. They are not replaced by coal plants. They are replaced by renewables as can be seen by the percentage of renewable energy in the German grid increasing since. https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-media/press-releases/2023/german-net-power-generation-in-first-half-of-2023-renewable-energy-share-of-57-percent.html
Stop lying to peddle your agenda against renewables.
Could they have replaced coal with those renewables instead of nuclear?

Thank you John
