> Portugal produced more than enough renewable power to serve all its customers for six straight days, from October 31 to November 6.
During those days the carbon intensities according to [electricitymap](https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/PT) were:
86, 39, 41, 49, 50, 44, 79 (gCO2eq/kWh)
6 days during the end of autumn? That’s pretty impressive.
That is very impressive, but how much of it comes from wind and solar and how much from hydro?
Nice!
Renewables are the way to go and not producing ever growing piles of nuclear waste that we have no solution to. “Bury it and let future generations deal with this shit” is not clean energy.

The same numbers for [France](https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FR) during the same days were:
32, 28, 26, 31, 27, 28, 43 (gCO2eq/kWh)
[Sweden](https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/SE):
20, 22, 21, 19, 20, 23, 26 (gCO2eq/kWh)
Why are Portugal’s renewables so dirty?

What we need is energy storage.
