> Germany being one of your best examples has put out vaaastly more CO2 than let's say France.
Or look at Spain. 43% renewable power, less CO2 than France, and shutting down 4 out of 7 nuclear power stations by 2030.
The solution to intermittent power is transmission lines, not nuclear.

- modo_mario 4y agoSpain puts out more CO2 per capita than France and I don't expect it to improve as they reduce their nuclear capacity. Just like our plan to deal with that and boost renewables is big gas plants with long contracts and insane subsidies.

They are building a lot more capacity and transmission. [1] https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions
