It doesn’t exactly work this way, but about the same share of German electricity comes from natural gas as comes from nuclear.  Although you can’t totally get away from gas produced electricity (because it is so rampable, it can be titrate de to make up for the intermittency of renewables), broadly speaking, however you planned to make up for the 65 TW of nuclear power you lose, you can now use that to make up for a bunch of power you were counting no natural gas for, and use that natural gas to instead keep grandma from freezing to death.

Agree, thus my "indirect but still there comment". Just wanted to point out direct equivalence wasn't required to make the electricity useful, but you did it much more clearly than I did.
