Doesn’t energy made out biomass (like wood-fuels) release a lot of CO2 as it’s still a carbon source?
Also, in the same article, nuclear energy seems to be pretty high up too (if not higher) and they’re building a new reactor, showing that it’s not one or the other, but a combination that’s probably the best.
Present day carbon cycling is okay. It’s when you take captured carbon from millions of years ago and release it without capturing it that has gotten us into trouble.
Yeah at higher latitudes the energy consumption is highest when renewable production is lowest.
Solar yes but not wind.
On coldest days in jan and feb the wind production here is nearly zero.
I’m glad your fellow countrymen have already got this figured out. Finland is a world leader in bioenergy. https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/finland-energy#:~:text=Renewable Energy,system based on fossil fuels.

Geothermal would work, but it is very expensive unless you have a large property or a decent sized pond.
It would still require power from other sources, but would dramatically reduce demand.
Geothermal was trialed and deemed unprofitable. Nuclear power has been serving our baseload needs for 50 years.
