But France is almost all nuclear or hydro.

The actual same metric is here. It is not surprising that large countries produce the most.

Very helpful. I’m surprised by Canada at 64 %. We have such short days in winter when we need the electricity the most that solar and wind don’t produce that much.

Hydroelectric.
I always end up looking like I hate green energy because I'm critical of wind and solar, but geothermal and hydroelectric are actually super practical.

It’s because of the vast hydro power in PQ. Also, windmills work at night.

Yeah, but the wind dies away at night.

does the wind depend on long days?
Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 1 hour ago
Partially. The wind dies down to almost nothing at night so a long night means a longer time with no wind production.
