Live CO2 emissions of electricity consumption

Great, but this is the other side of the coin:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.energy-charts.de&#x2F;power.htm?source=all-sources&amp;week=51&amp;year=2017" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.energy-charts.de&#x2F;power.htm?source=all-sources&amp;we...</a><p>Look at the beginning of the week on 18.December and Wind+Solar are only 5% to electricity production. Over 50% now. 5% then.<p>What is the end game here? Duplicate the whole infrastructure and have backup coal&#x2F;gas&#x2F;nuclear plants for half the time? That is why Germanys electricity prices are so high.<p>France: 17 cent per kwh vs Germany: 29 cent per kwh

Shocking to see Australia&#x27;s carbon emissions from electricity production. Australia has abundant space for wind and solar (and a lot of solar potential) and still gets most of the electricity from coal..

Despite a huge proportion of wind Germany still produces nearly twice as much CO2 per kWh than France :(

Too bad that Germany uses coal to regulate wind power output fluctuations.<p>These record production peaks are sold as good things, but they are negative aspect of wind power. Only 20 percent or less of installed wind power capacity is available 90 percent of time.

This is the website I&#x27;ve been looking for!<p>Gathering together power generation and CO2 emissions for the whole world, albeit those that are publishing the data.<p>Strange that the data for Netherlands, Italy, and Texas are missing. Is this charged for, confidential, or just not collected?

Misleading headline! The Germans aren&#x27;t producing wind - except those who are too much sauerkraut.

I don&#x27;t understand how these electricity production numbers are to be understood. Neither net nor gross energy production seem to match the numbers depicted for Germany. Why does it say, that Germany is producing 61% of its power from wind energy, when most other sources only report around 40%?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cleanenergywire.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;styles&#x2F;lightbox_image&#x2F;public&#x2F;images&#x2F;factsheet&#x2F;fig2-gross-power-production-germany-1990-2017-1.png?itok=klV3qdJ3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cleanenergywire.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;styles&#x2F;l...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cleanenergywire.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;styles&#x2F;lightbox_image&#x2F;public&#x2F;images&#x2F;factsheet&#x2F;fig1-installed-net-power-generation-capacity-germany-2002-2016.png?itok=CA958Qku" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cleanenergywire.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;styles&#x2F;l...</a>

Shame it&#x27;s still higher intensity than the UK at the moment (just)!<p>(And indeed my calcs don&#x27;t quite match yours <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.earth.org.uk&#x2F;_gridCarbonIntensityGB.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.earth.org.uk&#x2F;_gridCarbonIntensityGB.html</a> anyway!)

And look at Guatemala: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.electricitymap.org&#x2F;?page=country&amp;countryCode=GT" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.electricitymap.org&#x2F;?page=country&amp;countryCode=GT</a><p>46% biomass! More than hydro, wind or anything else. This should be a role model.

For the UK (and France) this has a lot of geeky detail: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk&#x2F;</a><p>UK data (inc. solar) with CO2 emissions in app form: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gridcarbon.uk&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gridcarbon.uk&#x2F;</a>

And also more biomass than coal! Still, those dirty coal cancer producers need to close down. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_least_carbon_efficient_power_stations" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_least_carbon_efficient...</a>

Let&#x27;s put wind farm on climate change amplified tornados and profit.

Do you know any other open&#x2F;free live datasets like they used for the map?

While I appreciate the effort, the map is misleading as the scoring&#x2F;coloring is purely focused on Carbon emissions.<p>This means things like Nuclear power, ecologically disastrous in the long term, get a nice thumbs up (see France e.g.) because of their short term &#x27;benefits&#x27;.

And record high nuclear production in France...<p>Anyone knows why?

Yet the primary source of energy for Germany is coal.

Electricity from wind is nice, but on the other hand there are mass layoffs in the fossil fuel industry, like siemens and general electric owned plants in germany are shutting down. Whole cities, like Görlitz, are drowning now. The nuclear industry was butchered, too.<p>All in all, the EEG is causing massive losses to germany and the environment (dont forget the outsourced damage to nature in china inflicted by solar panel production!).<p>Deutschland has the highest CO2 emissions of all times and the highest cost of electricity of all times now. This is a severe warning to the world! Never use a socialist approach!
