Germany's Carbon Intensity this last year has been 399 gCO₂eq/kWh

France's Carbon intensity was 53 Carbon gCO₂eq/kWh

In other words, Germany is dumping 7.5 times more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per kilowatt hour than France.

Only 5.58% of France's electricity came from gas, and a negligible amount from coal

A little over 40% of Germany's electric power is produced by burning stuff.
