apart from Iceland?
it’s of course a far greater achievement for China, Iceland uses 70% of its electricity to make aluminum for tax-dodging multinationals
Listen, Iceland is cheating by sitting on top of two tectonic plates that are drifting apart, and is effectively the world’s largest hot plate.
A recent article by Nassos Stylianou, Jana Tauschinski, and Edward White published by the Financial Times says, “China is the world’s first major electrostate.”
The headline doesn’t say “major” (emphasis mine) but the Financial Times article they’re sighting does, so there’s that.
fudging the headline to draw in readers?
There are a few small countries that are fully renewable.
What’s that one above China that isn’t increasing much anymore?
Based on the graph on page 37 (from the same analysts but a different data source), that country is probably Norway or Sweden.
All I could glean from the original graph was that it is a European country, but I couldn’t find which one it is. I’m guessing it’s probably Sweden but IDK
No, what a ridiculous thing to say. Wasn’t something like this posted months ago? China will be the world’s first electro state. Until it becomes an e-fuel exporter, this comparison is really unwarranted.
