Renewable energy is expanding rapidly enough to offset the production from both nuclear and fossil fuels. While acknowledging the temporary spikes in fossile energy sources due to the Ukraine conflict, the continued growth trend of renewables, as evident in the graph, suggests that these fluctuations will have minimal impact in the long term. For instance, projecting to 2030, the ascendancy of renewables appears to significantly outweigh these temporary variances.
I've noticed this claim being made repeatedly, but it's simply not true. Germany is decreasing its fossile energy production long-term.
Please look at this very easy to understand graph:
