That despite the German governments claim that they have a 63 GW total wind capacity, they are still burning large amounts of fossil fuels when it is not windy.

So they say that when the wind blows, they can generate up to 63 GW from wind power (that's what capacity means). What's wrong with that? Of course they have to rely on other energy sources when there's no wind.
