  Also ridiculously far ahead on grid connected battery storage. https://elements.visualcapitalist.com/top-20-countries-by-battery-storage-capacity/ https://elements.visualcapitalist.com/top-20-countries-by-ba... Australia > all of Europe (yes all of Europe, not just EU) combined on that one.

    To be fair Australia also has approximately infinitely more sun than most of Europe does. But true, we could be doing a lot better in the EU regardless

      The thing to look at is C02 equivalent emissions from electricity generation. Despite Australia's high solar and battery penetration Australia's electricity generation is fairly high emissions. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/5y/monthly https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/5y/monthly France and Sweden have considerably lower emission electricity generation than Australia does.
