> Germany most of all now has to correct the mistakes by the previous government and very quickly has to push for building up more wind and solar capacity.

If any of what you say is true at all, how did France survive for so long on nuclear power?

See https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/business-sites/en/global/c...

France uses 40.7 billion cubic meters of gas (0.6 per capita), while Germany uses 86.5 (1.03 per capita). Given that France has a warmer climate the difference is not all that big. France does not survive on nuclear power alone.
