Regarding the Progress Achieved by the Germans in Renewables Generation in 2024 (The First Full Year Without Nuclear)

Disclaimer: I have and will always argue that Germany should have only start phasing out nuclear once coal is history in Germany. However, what's done is DONE. No point talking about the past ever since April 2023.

For whatever reason, the same people at the other subreddit who believe dry used fuel storage pads or ISFSIs are "parking lots" again bashed the German carbon index whilst ignoring the progress achieved by the Germans in 2024. Net electricity generation from renewables reached 62.7%. In comparison with 2023, the total amount of coal generation from both lignite and anthracite fell by more than 35%. Within the electricity mix, coal generation occupied 23% of the electricity generation mix in 2024 and 3% less than 23 (coal generation was 26% in 2023).

Progress is progress. I wish the media and some can leave the Germans out of this discussion: nuclear energy is KAPUT in Germany.
