Look to France to see what getting too reliant on Nuclear can do. Germany had a healthy mix with some nuclear and it would have made sense to keep them running until renewables power everything (which they will). But: Nuclear can't be justed bounced around on a whim. Even the Russian war in Ukraine couldn't reverse course because the powerplants weren't getting re-certified by their operators.

The fact is that Germany will build 13 GW of renewables this year, which offsets those last 4 GW of Nuclear somewhat.
