Reply #28: No grids that are mostly renewables

[DrGregory]

So? Where's the so called "renewable" paradise? Norway? Denmark? How come they're still running new oil rigs in the North Sea?
==========================

Exactly. Even the massive spending by Denmark on
wind turbines - the last I read, Denmark was getting
about 18% of its electricity from their vast fleet
of wind turbines. Where do they get the other 82%
of their electrical energy - fossil fuels. As
"green" as they purport to be with all the wind turbines,
over 80% of Denmark's electric power comes from CO2-polluting
fossil fuels.

In fact, on a carbon emission per capita basis; Denmark is one
of the dirtiest.

The cleanest are France and Sweden. France is almost 100%
nuclear, and Sweden is 50% nuclear and 50% hydro.
