When we talk about the carbon intensity of electricity, we are referring to the number of grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) that it takes to make one unit of electricity a kilowatt per hour (kW/hour).
Germany really messed up by phasing out nuclear, super dumb
What is it about Italy,Greece and Ireland?
Not to mention that Northern Ireland is still grey for some reason.
So Norway gets a pass because they only exports their oil?
France with their nuclear. Looking good.
So, germany imports energy from Czech Republic, Poland imports from Germany and Czech Republic imports from Poland? Seems weird, but OK.
France can into Nordics?
This proves that 20-30 years ago, investment in nuclear should be a priority and Europe would have a much lesser problem with carbon emission (I know that back then much smaller number of people was treating climate change seriously, I’m just saying what would be better policy)

Thank God, one of first maps where Germany isn’t magically green
Majority exporter ✔️
Only green on the mainland ✔️
More nuclear than anyone else ✔️
Only reprocessing nuclear waste facility ✔️
What does “current” mean?
What’s going on with Norway? Why is it so split up? Has there been a poorly reported Civil War going on in Norway recently?
I think it’s high time we forget about GDP and prioritize Carbon emission per capita.
Well done Germany, you did it, you closed all nuclear power plants… I can’t stand the irony…
I hope one day Poland will have more nuclear power plants than germany and we’ll be able to laught at them for generating soooo much CO2 from all that natural gas…
Guess what, if we utilised nuclear properly, we could be all as green as France. It’s not really question of geography, everyone can build it.
And yes, eventually we should switch to all renewables but rn all the CO2 we produce is far more deadly for the planet than nuclear waste.
Too bad that Germany is shutting off nuclear plants… we would need more of them right now

What’s going from Spain to France?
