Much of Europe has set itself the goal of switching away from heavily polluting fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources.
However, as the following chart from Statista’s Anna Fleck shows, a snapshot of the energy landscape in Europe right now, using data from BP’s latest annual report, reveals that while there’s some variation in energy types across the bloc, fossil fuels still make up the lion’s share of the energy sources the continent is most reliant on.

Exceptions to the rule include France, which stands out for its nuclear power usage, and Denmark, which relies predominantly on renewables – mostly wind energy.
Iceland, Norway and Sweden are the only countries in Europe to rely mostly on hydropower.
While this is also a type of renewable energy, bp gives it its own subcategory. In Iceland and Norway, hydropower makes up more than 60 percent of the countries’ energy supply.

Well, they are on it:

Biden the Bloodthirsty loves killing civilians. The genocide of Russian-speaking people by indiscriminate shelling is the only tactic left after the Ukroid failure to make any serious progress. Zelsky’s “success” in slaughtering non-combatants is designed exclusively as a media event to help BB win the November 8 mid-term elections, no matter the losses to Kiev. Hence the Ukie war crimes against Russia itself and against cities such as Donetzk (Доне́цк). The corrupt American media, of course, will never show the facts of the ongoing atrocities by BB and his tools, let alone about American soldiers (mercenaries) in Ukroland. Ditto for revealing the fact that BB destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines in order to devastate Germany, canceling any possibility of its joining Russia ever. Meanwhile BB is hysterically waving his nuclear threat banner in order to frighten both Russia and the American electorate. That is because henceforth the post-bellum existence of Ukraine is in doubt. Which means that superduperland may be facing its first real defeat in world history.
America the morally squalid.

Brain energy consumption is smaller (Small Brains Considered – 10).

I find it interesting that the Neo-nazis in Germany are supporting the Neo-nazis in the Ukraine, but denying that they are Nazi.

I just sign the authorization of execution for the whole earth on Wed, 19th Oct 2022 7:39 am
GOD asked me to sign the paper to authorize the execution of all the humans living on the planet earth. I gladly sign the execution papers to authorize the execution of all humans living on earth.à
Then GOD ask me what was the execution method I would prefer. I responded dead by bloody red facial skin cancer.
We are currently witnessing the first planetary genocide of all the humans living on planet earth done be GOD himself. This planetary genocide will live on in history books.
You should know that GOD plan work perfectly well and he will achieve his goal of cleaning up GOD consciousness of all the energetic trash living with it.

That graph looks like a lie. Denmark uses enormeous amounts of fossil fuels for cars and international transport.
If the graph depicted only electricity energy usage – then perhaps…

Well this article is clearly bogus. A fucking disgusting lie.
According to the report being referred to Denmark produces 6.2 gigawatts of wind energy in 2020 (page 59).
However the total energy consumption of Denmark is…. 700 PJ in 2020.
(J=W*S) So 700J/31,556,926S=W= 22,182,135,230 J or 22.182 Gigawatts – so about 30% of Denmark is produced from wind (solar is about 1GJ).
This means about 70% is from fossil fuels. But this does not include the huge fleet of international bulk carriers – which earns a significant amount of Denmarks international trade….
