> Who cares if they had nuclear because of military goals
I do care if someone desperately tries to sell nuclear as green/sustainable or even wants my taxpayer money to fuel this kind of crap (EU).
> Germany releases over 5 times as much CO2 for the same amount of electricity as France. Would France have had cheaper electricity if they used coal, gas like Germany? Sure.
This is a straw man. I never said they should have build more coal or gas.
I even said that they should have gone with renewables.
> The amounts of renewables Germany has deployed is nowhere near enough to offset the amount of fossil fuels they use.
Germany has actually a LAW to phase out coal completely.
The German taxpayer made renewables a product people can buy all over the world and generate power for small amounts of money. This ridiculous Astro-Turf campaign against Germany only shows where the wind truly comes from: climate change deniers and haters of renewable energy. And yes, yes you can assure me that YOU are different that it's just for the environment etc. etc. However the fact remains: nuclear is out. Money is better invested in renewables.
Face it and don't try to meddle with numbers only because you don't like them (Lazard).
France emits 60 grams of CO2 for every KWh of electricity generated. Germany emits over 300 grams of C02 for the same electricity. The one that's fuddling numbers is the one that's trying to paint the latter as more successful than the former at cubing climate change, despite the vastly larger greenhouse gas emissions.

This is a lie.
They have replaced nuclear years ago https://i.imgur.com/i0n83xM.png
Renewables make almost half of the whole energy generation in Germany https://energy-charts.info/charts/renewable_share/chart.htm?...
