Big time. And for no reason.

  Sir. There is a reason people find it offensive. I can tell you that this whole coal based industry story is very sensitive subject in Poland. For a number of reasons, that are good for separate discussion. But lets stick to the facts again. Just look at the top reddit r/dataisbeautiful/ comment Took me a minute to realize that Poland wasn't black because of missing data, but rather because that's apparently how dirty their electricity is. And why ? Because of black color used obviously. Ok but lets leave this unfortunate color aside. Many other questions arise. - What does it mean that the page has live data visualization. How often is the data updated ? - How many sources of data are there. Does it cover all of them in every country ? Are they all online all the time ? - Why is Estonia dark brown the whole time but when i click on it is see wind ++ solar ? hydro biomass ? nuclear gas ? coal oil ? unknown ++++++++++ and it still has 595 gCO2eq/kWh - What does "?" stands for in the results? Are some sources unavailable or is the data corrupted or what ? - Why there is nothing under coal ? - What does unknown here mean ? Does it contribute to gCO2eq/kWh ? I mean, so much of unknown energy. Are you serious ? - What is the metric used after all ? Is this software even alpha ? What is the version ? That is all very important when you create "facts" like this in Internet.
