One more fossil gas power plant in Bavaria 🇩🇪 to compensate for lack of power supplies caused by "nuclear exit"
CO2 emissions of nuclear: 12 gCO2eq/kWh
CO2 emissions of fossil gas: 490 gCO2eq/kWh

It's not strange. It's a logical consequence of the policy decision to shut down nuclear first, at any cost, before intermittent energy sources are coupled with storage (which didn't happen) but at the same time have 24/7 electricity in the country.
