Are you sure about that? I've been keeping an eye on the German numbers because it is the fairest experiment and it looks to me like they've failed to have any sort of environmentally positive outcome. Their energy use is flat, and they've swapped nuclear for renewables, with a little reduction in hard-coal [0].

If the goal of Germany's Energiewende was cleaner energy, France is thrashing them without even trying. That is really a stunning endorsement of just how technically excellent nuclear power is.
