Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable energy.
Canada is on the 50% map.

@tinfoiling@cosocial.ca A more important number is really how much electricity is produced without emitting carbon. Canada does better than 50% in that regard, as does France.

@tinfoiling@cosocial.ca I saw a recent article claiming that Australia also nears 100% renewable. What happened with that?

@tinfoiling@cosocial.ca Germany hasn't even cracked the 50% treshold. My country sucks at progress!
