Curious to see how this continues in 2025 as political motivation shifts from ecological to economical. I suspect it will keep rising.

In the last year, Great Britain's electricity was
31.4% wind, 14.6% nuclear,
7.1% biomass, 5.1% solar,
1.4% hydroelectric,

27.2%gas, 0.5% coal

At the speed that things are changing, a year can already provide quite a different picture... Is there a similar chart for 2024?

Probably in a few months when the numbers are final.

I'll never quiet understand how anyone can claim Nuclear is clean... Minimal CO2 just Toxic Nuclear Waste instead (100 times worse)

Coal is heavily used in china and India

China is replacing coal more quickly than any nation on earth.

That is good but still more than 50% of Chinese energy is from coal

High ceiling for solar
