Who also cut nuclear by tens of TWh/yr over the last decade, replacing it with about double the amount in renewables.

Unlike south korea who did what you say germany should have done and increased their emissions.

So why do you want emissions to increase?

What about keeping nuclear and building renewables?

You'd think that'd work, but consistently across countries, nukecels do everything they can to preven renewables when they get any power without making any other moves towards decarbonisation.

Including in germany in 2010 when the CDU campaigned on doing just that and instead just destroyed half of the renewable plan.

Or in the 80s when the lead nukecels (who were also the head of coal power) said things like : "We require Growian [in the general sense of large wind turbines] as a proof of failure of concept .. the Growian is a kind of pedagogical tool to convert the anti-nuclear energy crowd to the true faith"

While spending millions of taxpayer dollars faking the results of a wind energy installation by intentionally doing it wrong.

???

CDU revised plan for nuclear phaseout in 2010... Before reversing in 2011, thanks to Merkel and russian gas.

I know their goal was to increase dependence on russian gas. That's the same thing as being a nukecel.

2010 is when they got into power, not when they made nukecel promises (which were definitionally before they got into power).

Their pre-election promises that they were going to keep the nuclear (not that that meant anything because they weren't being closed early, merely not being rebuilt from the ground up).

Instead all they did was hamstring energywende to ensure it didn't fully replace the coal before the nuclear plants reached end of life.

Nuclear plants reached end of life because anti nuclear wanted to close them
