@bradr@infosec.exchange I don't know but 25 years doesn't seem particularly fast to me. Spain definitely gets credit for making it happen and working on it steadily over those 25 years.

@bradr@infosec.exchange nice! And this is also part of an ongoing overall reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions. They have been steadily using less per year since 2007. Truly impressive and hopeful.

@bradr@infosec.exchange https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/17/spain-energy-resilience-iran-war-trump-trade.html Spain has sufficient autonomy, agency, & sovereignty to chart its own course because of its energy policy It lets Spain to tell Trump to eff off, and especially his fossil fuel oil oligarchs. If only we were all so fortunate. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/spain-pm-sanchez-trump-iran-war-ceasefire-middle-east-crisis.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/world/europe/trump-britain-spain-falklands.html

@bradr@infosec.exchange Spain's geographic location was helpful though, impossible to pull that stunt in central mainland Europe. UK is a different case, they can tap more wind and tidal.

@bradr@infosec.exchange wenn wir diese Entwicklung auf Deutschland übertragen könnten.... dann wären wir in 15 Jahren fossilfrei. Aber das können wir nicht. Denn unsere Politik wurde von den fossilen Industrien gekauft.

@bradr@infosec.exchange Here is a year in South Australia. Green for solar+wind, black for gas and diesel, purple for battery charge/discharge*. Such is the height of the daytime solar generation across Australia, mostly from residential solar, that there will be three hours of free electricity from June. The South Australia state Premier says all electricity in the state will be zero carbon by 2027. Edit: a caution about interpreting these figures. This is electricity usage as *seen by the grid*. There is a huge amount of daytime power consumption which is powered from on-site solar panels, and so not seen by the grid at all. No one knows how big this 'behind the meter' usage is, but based on panels sold it is expected to be huge, as part of the rationale for a household installing solar is to run the summer air-conditioning for 'free'. There are pleasant spring days (no heating or aircon) where the entirety of the state is powered from residential solar alone. * Battery charging is solar+wind in SA, so count that as non-fossil.

@bradr@infosec.exchange Whilst I 100% agree that this is very positive, and great to see, electricity is not the only energy consumed in spain. There is still a considerable reliance on fossil fuels for energy. Source: https://ourworldindata.org/profile/energy/spain

@bradr@infosec.exchange Great news, but this is _only_ aboute electricity production. Is there a graph with _all_ energy and fossil use? I.e. including motor traffic (which still runs on oil), heavy industries and chemical processes?

@michael@westergaard.social 2026-05-08 10:52
Electricity is typically around 10-20% of a country's total energy consumption. It's great that a lot of electricity is moving to renewable, but even when 100% of electricity is renewable, that means the country is 15% of the way (20% is only reached in countries with high EV adoption).
