Re: So Where Does the EU Get Its Electricity From? (none / 1)

According to that map, only three EU countries have a low (0-20%) fraction of fossil power: France, Sweden and Lithuania. Guess what they all have in common?

Lithuania has confusing cinema? (none / 0)

Come to think of it, I am not aware of whether I have seen any Lithuanian films, but the blurb for Forest of the Gods does not make it sound very confusing. Depressing, perhaps.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

For the purpose of energy security and sensitivity to supply side shocks, you should look at total per capita or per unit of GDP consumption.

France: 1.5 TEP per capita
Germany: 1.5 TEP per capita
Sweden: 1.6 TEP per capita
EU15: 1.5 TEP per capita

Is it energy or electricity we're talking about here? It must be energy.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
