Ironic for a country that closed their nuclear power plants to open coal ones instead

Why do people like you constantly spread lies lmao. Coal usage is dropping despite not using a tiny amount of nuclear anymore.

Funny how people are down voting my comment regardless that it is the truth.

Here for the uneducated people:

Coal-fired power generation also fell: Lignite-fired power plants generated about 41.2 TWh, a sharp decline of 21 percent from 2022 (52.1 TWh). Net production from coal-fired power plants also decreased by 23 percent, from 26.2 TWh in 2022 down to 20.1 TWh in 2023. Electricity generation from natural gas decreased only slightly from 24.3 TWh to 23.4 TWh. In addition to gas-fired power plants for the public power supply, gas-fired plants in the mining and manufacturing sectors also supply the industrial own consumption. These approximately produced an additional 24 TWh for industrial captive use.

Stats say coal share is dropping after nuclear shut down yet people online claim nuclear is being replaced by coal.

Energy from coal production fed to the grid got to 33% in 2022 from 30% in 2021 according to the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (+8.6% YoY)

It's not very representative to compare just two data points. If you look at a larger time window you can see that black coal is declining and brown coal is more or less constant https://www.energie.de/et/news-detailansicht/nsctrl/detail/News/stromerzeugung-rueckblick-auf-den-energiemix-seit-1990-zeigt-die-risiken-uebergrosser-dynamik

And most of that was to compensate the lack of french export to the European grid and not because Germany shut down nuclear.

Look at 2023 data for example.
