Why does this lie about Germany keep being repeated? Explain where in this graph Germany replaced nuclear with coal:

I can literally see it in the linked graph.

Generation from coal has been decreasing continuously since 2013. Until 2020, since then it _increased_ while nuclear generation decreased.

Generation from coal might have just kept on decreasing past 2020, hadn't nuclear plants been shut down.
