The last paper is insane. France has one of the lowest co2 emission in the world because of nuclear. Meanwhile Germany and Spain have increased their emission despite insane investment in renewable.
As for average costs it's a farce. Renewable prices are negative sometimes because you produce loads of energy when you don't need it. If it wasn't for nuclear and fossile to produce energy when you need, there wouldn't even be a functioning power grid.
Coal, especially lignite being better for the environnement than nuclear is a very good joke.
I assume it's a good example of German humor.
