Except that never happened. Gas is mostly used for heating in Germany, not for electricity like nuclear power. I don't know where this rumour started (probably somewhere on reddit) but it's just not true.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying that relying so much on Russian gas was a good move or that we couldn't (and shouldn't) have done a lot more to move away from coal. But that particular argument is misinformation.

Germany doesn't get all of its electrical power by renewable meness by a long shot. Nuclear plants were prematurely shut down before their end of life while at the same time germanies reliance on fossil fuels went up. This is what everyone is talking about.

I just called out this particular piece of misinformation. Being of the opinion that Germany shut down nuclear power plant prematurely doesn't make it okay to spread misinformation, does it?
