FWIW I made a map this year about Non Fossil electricity usage around the world and the results are quite surprising actually, supporting the article for the most part. Btw. this was surprisingly quick to do with google spreadsheets.

- simonbw 10y agoI hovered over Luxembourg and it told me they have -6.0% non-fossil-fuel electricity.
- raz32dust 10y agoNice work! It will be nice to have individual energy source percentage as well in the 3rd tab (Fossil <30% tab).
- m_mueller 10y agoThanks. See the update just now - tried to reduce it to first principles ;).
- patall 10y agoYou can stand to it as you wish but by which means is nuclear power a renewable? (See France with 91%+ renewable with mostly nuclear power) Edit: Or non-fossil, if that is a difference
- adrianN 10y agoIt's non-fossil because it isn't made from dead organic matter.
- tomp 10y agoThe same way that solar/wind power is renewable (i.e. not really).
- maxerickson 10y agoWhat do you mean?
- adrianN 10y agothere is no renewable power. entropy in the universe must increase.
- m_mueller 10y agovery nicely put, I'll steal that if you don't mind.
- maxerickson 10y agoGood thing for this conversation that it can decrease locally. (literally, otherwise life would not exist) I don't think this is the argument tomp is making though.
- patall 10y agoThat is true, but wind and solar do not change because we do use them, they will occur anew. Nuclear material does not reappear (within our system on earth). So the entropy increases for wind and solar anyways, while much slower for uranium under normal circumstances.
- tomp 10y ago"Solar" is just nuclear on the sun.
