I don't have to check anything, I make it my business to keep up with energy issues. Germany is in the shit big time over the Energiewende. Don't you think that Der Spiegel might know better than you?
The latest update to Carnegie Mellon University’s Power Sector Carbon Index (PSCI)—a quarterly report that tracks carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and intensity from the U.S. power sector — shows that 2017 U.S. electricity generation CO2 emissions were 27 percent below 2005 levels, as the following chart from the report illustrates.
Not coincidentally, the report also shows that natural gas’ share of the total electricity generation mix increased 67 percent during that time (760 to 1,270 million megawatts), helping power plant CO2 emissions drop to their lowest levels since 1988. As the following chart from the report illustrates, natural gas’ net electricity generation share has jumped from 19 percent in 2005 to 32 percent last year, thanks largely to abundant and affordable natural gas supplies made possible by shale development.

I should also point out that the installed capacity in Portugal in around 19 gigawatts, whereas Germany is over 150 gigawatts. Big difference.
The EPA under Obama wanted to use PM2.5 regulations to ban most wood burning ovens and possibly even BBQs. One of the refreshing aspects of appointing Scott Pruitt is the EPA can no longer hide their justifications for making bad decisions. Over zealous politically motivated actions will now be exposed and have to be justified.
