Well, if we look at nuclear and gas we can also see that nuclear wasn’t replaced by gas in Germany. Gas and nuclear have very different purposes in the grid, on can be spun up almost on demand the other can’t. Anyway, at least in Germany there is no nuclear power anymore so arguing that something else should be phased out first is pointless, and saying that nuclear was replaced by coal or gas is spreading fakenews.

Every nuclear plant that is closed is a coal or gas plant that could be closed, so yes, coal is replacing it.
