  Do any of you cite or do you just enjoy clinging to doomer YouTube videos with sketchy sources and a reach so far they may as well be Mr. Fantastic? Propaganda hitting y’all hard.

  Most first world nations are far above 5%. I see some 10-20 year old data that suggests around 5… we are well above that in the USA, let alone the world.

  Renewable energy generates over 20% of all U.S. electricity , and that percentage continues to grow. The following graphic breaks down the shares of total electricity production in 2022 among the types of renewable power: In 2022, annual U.S. renewable energy generation surpassed coal for the first time in history.

  In 2022, 38% of the world’s electricity was delivered by carbon-free generation sources (nuclear, hydropower, and combined renewables), similar to 2021. The global electricity system is still mostly powered by fossil energy, but it is undergoing an increasingly rapid rate of change.

    38% of electricity. Check here it says about 1% is “renewable” energy (which still relies on fossil fuels to be constructed)

      Nuclear is zero-emission clean energy mate… I love how you’re all just wrong, constantly, but goalposts shift again and again while you just ignore my already placed sources that cover everything you’re all talking about.

      Be a concern troll, be a propagandist, do you mate, it’s Lemmy lmfao. Either way, to all the doomers out there, it’s bullshit.

      The vast majority of humanity will keep going down the right path, despite apocalypticists heralding the end of civilization every year since Jesus was doing it. Avoiding the worst of 4 degrees of warming has already been mitigated. Climate change being real doesn’t mean having to be a jaded cynic.

        What? Nuclear is included in my 15% figure. Also do some research, anyone with half a brain in climate science is terrified.
