...255% greater than France's, in "percent talk," 192 grams of CO2/kwh for Britain vs 49 grams of CO2/kwh forFrance. Of course Britain has nuclear plants, so there's that.

93% of France's electricity was low carbon, Britain 67%.

30.84% of British electricity, 8.64 TWh came from the combustion of dangerous natural gas; the waste was dumped directly into the planetary atmosphere.

Of course I have never met an apologist for the failed enormously expensive so called "renewable energy" scam, of course, who gives a fuck about fossil fuels. Decades of their "rah-rah" "percent talk" has left the planet in flames, not that they give a rat's ass about extreme global heating. The reality is without fossil fuels, the wind and solar garbage would leave people living in the dark.

The figures come from the Energy Map website.
