It's not bad at all. You can look at it in isolation and wish for more, but the truth is, controverse oppinions about high nuclear usage, like France, aside, the vast majority of other countries have significantly less green energy percentage. Small exceptions aside, Germany is only beat by those countries/areas whose green energy is close to 100% water, which of course is easy to use, and has been used first historically. It isn't new and most countries use as much as their geography allows. Netherlands, UK, Italy, Spain, basically all of eastern Europe, the US, India, China, Australia, ..., they all produce less green energy. If Germany's energy policy was bad, what's the excuse of all those other countries?
