> Europe is worse in carbon-free transition.
Than whom? The parent comment referred to Texas, let's extend that to an US/EU comparison in electricity production
The latest numbers I could find for either:
EU: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=File:Net_electricity_generation,_EU,_2021_(%25,_based_on_GWh).png https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
US: https://www.epa.gov/power-sector/electric-power-sector-basics#fuelsources https://www.epa.gov/power-sector/electric-power-sector-basic...
Nuclear + wind + solar + hydro in the EU was 57.8% vs 36.9% in the US, doesn't seem that much worse
