Angry Germans frantically rambling falsities about nuclear incoming lmao
Worth nothing that this is “energy” and not “electricity”
In the UK at least, over 60% of electricity generation the last year has been renewable or nuclear: [https://grid.iamkate.com](https://grid.iamkate.com)
And while UK generation only matches 90% of demand, the shortfall is largely supplied by France via French, Belgian and Danish interconnectors, and more than 90% of French electricity generation is renewable or nuclear.
For the UK at least, replacing gas boilers in homes with electric heat pumps is the next big step: however UK housing stock generally is lacking the quality of insulation and radiators needed for heatpumps to work well
(In some cases energy just means electricity and heating. In others transport is also included. I’m not sure which definition this chart is using)
Let’s hear again how wind and solar are actually the cheapest and every country just decides to not use them because of the fossil fuel lobby even though it would make their energy supplies more secure and cheaper.
Nice – I like the bar chats to show comparison!
Personally I’d change up the colors a bit to make it easier to read with a broader range of colors. And make the colors more intuitive brown, for oil, black for coal, pale yellow for gas, different shades of blue for hydro and wind, bright yellow for solar…maybe purple for nuclear…you can riff on what to use for the others.
I’d love to know the source fro the UK getting 2.5% of it’s energy from coal – we don’t have **anything** that uses coal anymore other than a few antique trains that I’m aware of.
We also get an enormous amount of energy from wind power, and have done for many years now, yet that’s suspiciously absent from your graph.
Oh worst comparison chart with primary energy skewing actual energy used. Just scrap it for the sake of sanity on reddit.
Is “biofuels” in Brazil ethanol for vehicles?
Hydro power should be blue
Andrebbe rapportato alla estensione del paese o alla densità di popolazione.
I wonder what crazy futuristic technology France is using, I sure hope it isn’t boiling water with rocks.
I’d like to see this by world population, the countries burning coal like there’s no tomorrow are so much larger than the rest that it really puts a downer on any efforts for renewables
My color blind self is hating this. But cool attempt. 😄
I love seeing all the posts about how China is koving to renewables 😂😂😂
