    In electricity generation *. Probably not as good once you take all primary production into account, especially transportation.

    However coal specifically is amazing. I thought “lowest consumption since 1757” was a typo, but it is not.

      Yeah, the industrial revolution was certainly a time.

    UK does pretty well for wind power.

    7 of the top 10 offshore wind farms by capacity, and all of the top 5.

    Of the 16 large farms currently being constructed worldwide, 5 of them are UK farms.

    I read a while back that the UK and Ireland get over 40% of the wind that blows over Europe, so at least it’s being put to good use.
