You don't get it because you don't know the facts. Nuclear was replaced by renewables and their coal use is way down. They also started the coal phase out which will run on a schedule just like the nuclear phase out.

Coal use is up: https://www.dw.com/en/coal-and-fossil-fuel-share-of-german-e...
Gas use is also up, at 400 €/MWh that goes to a dictator who is overtly planning invasion of Eastern Europe. The southern part of which is rapidly becoming a desert: https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/desertification-of....
This is not brave, or principled, or sophisticated. It's a death toll with slightly higher plausible deniability.

Coal use is way down, from 45% of their electricity in 2010, to 25% in 2020. Nuclear phase out started in 2011. Please don't spread misinformation - your article refers to Q3 2021. Here is the data (coal the bottom two):
