Europeans got more of their electricity from renewable sources than fossil fuels for the first time last year, according to an annual report

New York from Ember and Agora Energiewende.

The report, which has been tracking EU's power sector since 2015, found that renewables delivered 38% of electricity last year, compared to 37% delivered by fossil fuels. The shift comes as other sources, such as wind and solar power, have risen in the European Union. Both sources have nearly doubled since 2015, and as of last year accounted for one-fifth of electricity generation in EU countries, the report found.

MMEX has transitioned to solar in 2018 by joining the Texas Solar Power Association (TSPA). MMEX is also Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliant company. It is projected that solar power will grow more than 5.5 GW! I'm hoping more companies transition to solar.

How much of that came from nuclear fission? In America there is much opposition to that. Windmills & solar panels will never provide the energy this country needs. Future is likely nuclear fusion and blue gas. No CO2. Almost no down side including cost of production & price.

I’m not reading this. It’s not true.

Fantastic! 👍🌍💐

How much more is a gallon of gas in Europe compared to the US ? 😎

Of course, Europe has been allowed to invest into their country's infrastructure while the US spends our money on endless war and foreign military bases. Time to bring the troops out on Europe.

Hey lopez lopezobrador_ ahorita que estas sin hacer nada, deverias de leer las noticias, pero no creo que entiendas

Just get clean off that Gazprom gas from Russia! Now!

We're 4 years behind our own progress towards renewable sources.

I call BULLSHIT!!!

This is big!! No how to improve it over here down yonder is the question🤔 VISIONS2021

Italy PM10 as people don t care about environment ! so sad!

Sustainable energy is the way to go

They did not go to the Red Fort, they were told by the police that Singhu used to commit violence at the border. How much more fall Delhi Police ModiWhereAreMissingFarmers

Lie

Right, Germany got their Natural Gas from Russia. Cleverly worded headline. Break it down by country and label the BIG offenders as you label White people in America. Research everyone...CNN & others are frauds and cover for Democrats. Disgusting & dishonest!

😂😂😂

We were independent for once. Now China is polluting the World. You won't cancel them or compete with them either.

dogecoin it's worth more than money it's memeney, ...who's the bank now!

It's truly something the EU should be proud of. It's encouraging and sends a message to the rest of the world that it can be done if global warming is taken seriously. It's been only 10 days since the US woke up back to reality. Hey Joe! Keep up the good job but stop fracking!

you are spreading misinformation

Good to see such progress being made. Hopefully it accelerates from here.

STONKS!!! $AMC

Why was Trump banned?

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about DennisWilliam78 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Per Southpark season 11 episode 9, “More Crap” - one Katie Couric = 2.5 pounds of excrement, sounds directionally correct !

Communist! We burn good old American coal /s

CNN is Propaganda not news

read that on a cereal box and reported as truth!

The UK is approaching fossil free soon, right?

Someone should go deeper into the numbers. Interesting that the European demand decreased by 4% in 2020 and COVID-19 had no impacts on the trend.

Italy always first ( for pollution )

And 25 per cent nuclear!

Boycott the Superbowl

They don't have oil like we do.

'France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy ...'

Bull

narendramodi is sending BJP goons! This time he’s going to fail In provoking us to do violence in return Our focus was&will be bills & boycott of your favourite Ambani’s Jio+Reliance+ gautam_adani +all Godi channels going to unsubscribe! Nice try to divert frm Arnab though

In Nigeria all we know is do nothing but pocket the project and go for what will obviously cost pain to the people while they steal from tax payers money after all we are boxedup

Ya nuclear haha

Oil has been and will be fluctuate the $50 mark. With the Biden administration working to crush the fossil industry snd Congressional tax breaks for renewable energy goods, us as an economy, if we like it or not, is going Green New Deal.

Bullshit

Um, they used up all their natural resources. Duh. Cautionary tale.

Hint..why does America still not have Highspeed Trains and Rails..ding..ding...yes..100 points..because the american fossil industry hates it. Yeah i know..but we have cheap gasoline prices..woohoo.

👍

that’s incredible

Good

I’ll cry rn i’ll do it

For references who want to find additional income or money from the internet. I hope it's useful and good luck everyone.

this is not true

Political Will... Renewable Resources!!! Shout out to algore !

LineHolm1 Sad to say that that is not the full picture because, energy systems in some countries including Denmarks powerplants using bio-mass, which is mainly wood pellets and are imported (Brasil, Poland, Russia) and therefore the CO2 emission is written off in the country of origin.

Bravo

No doubt, this is wonderful and a welcome development.....it will go a long way to foster infrastructural development in European countries. Congratulations to the insightful courage.

Hi why don’t show the Iraq Baghdad Weather on your channel

We could've been there .. if NOT for 'her emails'

That's good thou

Republicans will never allow Renewable energy to be dominant in the United States.

good!

Excellent!

And what they are use now

Well that’s a start

And look, GOP, Europe isnt on fire, or getting swallowed to Hell in a gaping hole. We can do it too!

Europeans excluding British right!

95% only bad news(

That probably hasn’t made a dent though

sheeeeeeesh

Of course they pay nearly double.

oh so!

Can become part of a new environment-related technology.

Renewables are the future. Either get with the times or be left behind.

For you environmentalist out there. Renewable includes Hydropower generated by dams (kill fish) Windmills (kill birds) and Nuclear (Kills everything).

👍♥️
