I think it's not the freshness of the information. The German nuclear lobby used this misinterpretation (viewing only French/German exchange rather than total German exports/imports) for a long time; I once diarised it here on ET, and here is a graph for 2006 export/import, where again you see French and Czehc nuke electricity transiting en route to the Netherlands and (via Switzerland and Austria) Italy:

You see, net exports even grew dramatically to almost 20 TWh -- a growth that happens to match growth in traditionally generated electricity (almost entirely gas, I wrote about this in a comment somewhere on ET).

Also check the table here, Einfuhr=imports, Ausfuhr=exports, Saldo=net (positive if net imports).

So what we are seeing here is that in the last few years, Germany has imported gas from Russia, burning it and exporting the electricity to the Netherlands, Austria and Italy?

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Precisely. While fall in nuclear and other domestic production was more than matched by renewables growth.

...and growth of consumption. I haver to look up the actual figures, but no time today.
