The renewables buildout is actually not "massively decreasing" these countries emissions.
Germany's emissions are largely flat, most of the little decrease has come from reduction in total electricity production. Emissions are around 10x that of France.
- ViewTrick1002 2y agoWhy are you lying? Can’t you even find it good that renewables are massively decreasing grid emissions around Europe? Here’s the data: https://imgur.com/a/eCxUpZ2 https://imgur.com/a/eCxUpZ2 This doesn’t even take into account energy efficiency measures lowering total grid demand.
- mpweiher 2y agoWhat I wrote is absolutely correct. After more than 20 years of renewables build out, Germany still has 10 times the CO₂ emissions of France. And France achieved that in 15 years, 40 years ago. Again, we've been at it well over 20 years and have barely moved the needle. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333217852/figure/fig5/AS:765097723064323@1559424920973/CO2-per-kWh-electricity-generated-in-different-European-countries-2014-own-compilation.ppm https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333217852/figure/fi... And still the 2nd or 3rd dirtiest grid in Europe. So no, what I wrote absolutely stands.

Let me cite you: > Germany's emissions are largely flat, most of the little decrease has come from reduction in total electricity production. Here's the data: https://imgur.com/a/eCxUpZ2 https://imgur.com/a/eCxUpZ2 That is anything but flat.
