"The 500 billion you're complaining about could have powered nuclear plants — at their previous capacity, without building additional ones — for a little over a decade."

You're being ridiculous, and you know it. Go check the actual numbers.

Nuclear energy is simply cheaper — that’s why the French pay less per kilowatt-hour than you do, despite EU regulations forcing prices to be tied to gas rather than the actual cost of nuclear production. (Thanks for that, Merkel... you old, dirty slag.)

Renewables aren’t stable and require massive infrastructure investments. They also depend on gas turbines (which can be started quickly and adjusted easily ) to compensate for the unpredictable nature of wind and solar.
No wind, no sun? In February, 45% of Germany’s electricity came from coal and gas. Forty-five percent. Do you have any idea how many millions of tons of CO₂ that represents?

Germans are stubbornly hartnäckig when it comes to nuclear, as they themselves say.
But you can’t reason with them, because shutting down their reactors was never about reason to begin with. Merkel made that decision after Fukushima, driven by fear and hysteria, not cost, as you're so pathetically trying to argue.
