Well, germany is certainly not deindustrialized and had 35% of electric power generated by renewable sources in 2018: https://ag-energiebilanzen.de/index.php?article_id=29&fileName=20181214_brd_stromerzeugung1990-2018.pdf

I can't exactly read German but if it's electric power, then that seems feasible but the figures look somewhat dire when we measure total energy consumption instead ... (heating, transportation, other industrial/agricultural utilities, etc)

Basically, even after a concerted effort from Germany to transition to renewable energy they've only been able to raise the share of renewable's by a meager ~3% over the past 7 years from 2010 and their citizens are paying the price for it ... 

Germany's model is hardly the decisive one to emulate ...
