By which metric is Germany barely doing better than Poland? In 2023, Poland produced 26% of its electricity from renewable sources [1], while Germany produced 52%. And that is with more than twice the amount of people living (and using energy) in Germany as compared to Poland.

Renewable energy is not the target, carbon neutrality is. German CO2 emissions per capita were only marginally better than Poland's in 2022 (8.0t vs 8.1t).

  Well, I would say that if your population is twice as big as that of another country, any per capita goal is naturally much harder to achieve.

    That's not how per capita works.

      It absolutely is.
