The largest source of "renewable" energy (not just electricity) in the EU is biomass [0], which, in many cases is wood pellets shipped (using bunker fuel to power the ships of course) from North America to the EU. Page 8 of this report [1] gives a pretty good visual of how this trend has increased over time. Europe is basically reverting to using wood for it's primary heating fuel. 0. https://energy.ec.europa.eu/topics/renewable-energy/bioenerg... 1. https://apps.fas.usda.gov/newgainapi/api/Report/DownloadRepo... | ||

wood is carbon neutral, after the first chop, at least. in canada and the US, a lot of that wood is going up in smoke without powering any industry already |
