What your chart shows is Germany hasn’t really reduced significantly any of their “carbon” energy production. All increases in energy are renewables at the expense of hydro and nuclear. Most of us in the real world acknowledge that Solar and wind turbine energy is actually heavily dependent on Chinese coal and oil to manufacture the components.

You know it's not 2015. Germany has dozens of new coal plants under construction. These charts were made BEFORE the bottom fell out.

The projections of what green energy could do were based off battery and electrical storage innovations that just didn't pan out. However, their projections may come true as the first working fusion reactor powered up a few months back. Perhaps that will fuel a new race with actual technology to replace base load electrical needs.

Humans
We are so impressed with our self-importance.
Whether by our own hand or the Hand of Fate, we will one day be extinct. To think, that we can prevent or even affect that in any significant way only highlights the depth of our hubris.
Neither Mother Earth nor Mother Nature will notice, much less miss us, when we're gone.
Stay upset, though. It gives your time here meaning, at least in your own eyes.
