Germany already buys some electricity from France with its nuclear power plants. Germany would be wise to follow the French example here.
Yes, I don’t have the link handy, but Germany posts online its hourly(?) energy usage by type, and on calm cold nights when the solar goes to zero and the wind is nil, they have to import some electricity.
It is interesting to see German Greenies screaming for more green energy in the interest of self-reliance, because I just don’t see how they can “get there” even if they cover the whole country with solar panels and wind farms. They have no way to store the power from sunny, breezy days, for calm cold nights.

But I don’t know if it’d be practical in Germany.
