This is kind of goofy accounting. They clump all hydroelectric, solar, and wind together into one category, then split up brown coal, black coal, and gas into individual categories.
Still, well done, Germany.
- acidburnNSA 8y agoYeah, it's really difficult for people to understand how much fossil fuel is still used today with all the headlines of 100% renewable here and there. Even that almost always means 100% of electricity, which is generally 40% of total energy, the rest being heating and transportation (very fossil dominated). This is great progress but we're not out of the woods. We need all the low-carbon energy we can get, and quite urgently. This leaves no room to rule unpopular but quantifiably safe and clean sources like nuclear.
