They were literally burning 20GW of coal yesterday because the 200% overprovisioned renewables were producing only 15% of their maximum output

Overprovisioned renewables? Hilarious sentence :D

As I have said: the transformation is not finished yet. Germany did almost nothing during Merkels time and renewables have still generated more than they lost due to the shutdown of nuclear.

Meaning: Germany would STILL burn coal even if they'd have kept nuclear.

It's not that hard to understand if you know the facts and the facts are that Germany has a law to phase out coal completely while expanding renewables. A law which few (no other?) countries even have. Even France will keep on burning coal when the last plant is closed in Germany.
