    Wow, who would have expected a Dunkelflaute in March? But here it is: #Germany - the "energy transformation leader with the most renewables in Europe" - 604 gCO2eq/kWh #Poland - old coal baseline country that is heavily investing in wind and building its first nuclear power plant - 582 gCO2eq/kWh #France - the hopeless case of old, legacy #nuclear that has "no future" and "contributes nothing to decarbonisation" (literal quotes) - 38 gCO2eq/kWh It's not a typo, the last number is really "28", that is 16x less than the first number. And the whole point of #decarbonisation is to emit less CO2.
