2. Germany has reduced the production from fossil fuels from about 70% to about 37% within 30 years.
3. At the same time it cut nuclear power from around 28% to about 10.
4. It looks like without reducing nuclear power it could have replaced the equivalent amount of fossil fuels (achieving less than 20% fossil fuels by 2020). However, energy consumption has also gone up since 1990, so it would have required building more reactors.
5. Renewables have replaced about 25% of energy production in the last 10 years.
1. Germany is a net exporter
