Meanwhile in Germany:
Im case someone asks: Increasing nuclear power generation in Germany means buying fuel rods from Putin, who invests the money in war not that far away from Germany…
Technically true, but I’m unsure how big this is. Would the annual revenue even compensate for half a day of Russian losses?
I call greenwashing on those “statistics”. According to IRENA, Sweden had around a quarter of their electricity from fossil fuels. The document is from 2020, but I don’t think it changed this much in three years. A very good step in the right direction, but we have to keep it real. Creating 100% renewable energy is awesome, but having to import a lot of dirty energy from abroad isn’t really helping much on the global scale.
I’d be glad, if any Swede could debunk me, if I interpreted this document falsely. The document on my home country Switzerland was pretty spot on, so I assume it is correct for other nations as well.

That’s really damn impressive
The Germany image is wrapping off the screen on my device, so I’ll post it here
