What's happening to fossil fueled generation as a result of this exemplary build-out of renewables?
Bupkis.
I thought the goal was to drive down GHG generation as well as nuclear? Nuclear is going down, all right, and because it's a "soft target" compared to fossil fuels one could easily predict that.
I'm very happy to see that, in one country in the world at least, renewables are knocking out nuclear power. The last thing I want to see is a crash of civilization with 400+ reactors still running. But the true danger to civilization (and possibly to life itself) is CO2 produced by fossil fuels. Germany's renewable electricity supply is making no inroads whatsoever on that front.
