I am not sure why I am being downvoted, when a quick look at figures [1] show Germany indeed performs abysmally considering the amount of installed wind/solar capacity.
As I speak, only 10% of combined wind and solar power are generating electricity in Germany, with coal having to back up, running at half its capacity. Germany electricity production carbon intensity is approx. 400 g of CO2 eq. per kWh. Nuke-heavy France is at 100 g.
Nuke and/or hydro-heavy countries are generally under 80; Germany is consistently above 200 g at all time in the year.
