So Germany or Denmark or wherever can claim to run on renewables, because there's French nuclear and Swiss hydro to pick up the slack. |
On a European scale: The European Union has promised to get 20% of its energy from renewables by 2020. Though at the current rate it'll be closer to 10%. Coal powered countries like Poland aren't helping
BTW, I found who has been spreading the rumor about
nuclear being 'renewable':
