Live display of CO2 emitted to produce electricity in European countries
Spain right now: solar plants off (OK, that's normal, it's night time here), wind plants off, hydro and gas plants mostly off, but burning coal at near maximum capacity while we import energy from Portugal who are also burning coal like madmen.<p>I already knew that we had serious problems in our grid, caused by politics (overdimensioned gas, insistence on using coal due to pressure by miners, etc.). That's more or less widely known, but I had no idea it was SO messed up. And why the imports when we have most of the renewable sources sitting idle? Wow.
