Germany has other peaks. That's why nuclear reactors before they were shutdown were routinely going between 600-800MW and 1.2-1.4 GW per reactor per day: https://www.oecd-nea.org/u…

This was the very definition of a black swan event. Imagine if all dams were subjected to the same insanity after dam failures like Banqiao Dam failure

There are graphs in the report.

Doesn't this show how much Germany imports from France?
