Yes, but they could have kept nuclear until the reactors were end of life to have more time for the transition.

Instead, they frantically closed them and now coal consumption increased. Case in point: Lützerath.

They did, most German reactors are ancient and were past the recommended life-time. And coal consumption did not increase because of the closing down of nuclear reactors.

No? Why did it increase? You know a lot of reactors were closed early. What filled that demand?
