But the reality is that gas is used to generate electricity in Germany. That gas is supposed to be used elsewhere in places where it cannot easily be substituted. Instead of relying on nuclear for that energy production Habek is all about coal, which is - no matter how you twist it - worse than nuclear.

Freeing up gas from gas based electricity plants would surely mean that it can be used for something else.
There is one, a big and huge one. Don't worry, you will find out on your next electricity invoice that gas is used to produce electricity and by letting nuclear power plants run a little bit longer, we could save huge amounts of gas.

Where on the invoice can I find the amount of electricity generated using gas?
There is no electricity shortage in germany, there is a large dependency of the industry on natural gas in production processes. Sometimes used for heating, which might get substituted by elctrical heating. More often gas is used in chemical processes, where there is no direct substitute.
