How recent were those numbers? The US is currently around 30% coal, 20% nuclear (so only about 50% combined), 32% gas, and almost all of the rest is renewables

How recent were those numbers? The US is currently around 30% coal, 20% nuclear (so only about 50% combined), 32% gas, and almost all of the rest is renewables of various sorts. Germany is 35% coal, 12% nuclear, 13% gas, 35% renewables. France is 72% nuclear, 12% hydro, 8% coal and gas. I'm having trouble finding the exact breakdown of coal and gas for France, but it looks like gas dominates.

- belorn 8y agoIt looks like it but either I remember very incorrectly, or the numbers for Germany has changed significant since the summer. Found this which might explain why: https://www.energy-charts.de/power.htm?source=all-sources&week=51&year=2017 https://www.energy-charts.de/power.htm?source=all-sources&we... One thing through, did forget that gas hold a large portion of energy production and had clumped it together with coal.
