    And please don’t forget that Germany exports 26.3% of its electricity, while France imports 16.4% of it.

    So, Germany could cut 26.3% of its fossil fuel generation and go up to 84% renewables if countries like France wouldn’t depend on it that much.

      You keep repeating this point but renewable energy HAS to be exported when production is over the grid absorption rate. And coal plants have to be on continuously to guarantee baseload due to you moronic energy policies. You can’t bring up a (cherripicked for a single extraordinary year) graph you don’t understand and think it’s a gotcha. Not even mentioning the fact that France exports its energy too.

      This year is an anomaly because nuclear production was low because some power plants had to shut down for maintenance. Germany typically imports power from France.
