Where did you get that number from?
https://www.iea.org/countries/germany https://www.iea.org/countries/germany
> Renewables 39.4% share of power generation, 2022
vs. France's 26.1%.
Edit: I guess you might be talking about consumption whereas I'm talking about production.
- Manuel_D 2y agoNuclear power is less "dirty" than most forms of renewables: https://world-nuclear.org/images/articles/0a2091ce-35b3-4ada-969d-a5db4690a4dd.jpg https://world-nuclear.org/images/articles/0a2091ce-35b3-4ada... Again, Germany emits 6 times as much C02 for every MWh of electricity generated as France. It's not an issue of production vs. consumption. You're counting nuclear power, which is heavily utilized by France, as a "dirty" energy source despite the fact that it's cleaner than most renewables.
