    I’m just impressed the UK can even be in the top 10.

      I reckon we’d be doing even better if it was total renewables, we lean toward wind power more than most, what with being an island and all

        That would put you in competition with places like canada, that are 76% renewables though, if you count hydro.

        For wind alone (according to wikipedia) you do do better, but are still in 6th place.

          You’d also have to count all the oil and gas that Canada exports to be burned around the world. Whether it’s used domestically or not doesn’t really make a difference.

            true, but then you’d have to do the same with every other country that sells oil, which would skew the numbers a bunch

              Of course, that’s the only proper way to track this.

      Data should be per capita or another relative measure.

        If you want it Per Capita, try this one with data from 2023.

        Pretty different story naturally.

        (edited link to include the same countries as the op post)

          But still, China is going full power on renewables, eventually they will pull ahead there as well, unless west or others start investing in renewables seriously.

          Indeed that paints a different picture as suggested.

        Yes, solar per capita, or percentage of solar in total energy production.
