“Green energy” needs fossile fuels such as natural gas as backup power plants.

If you want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions effectively, you must support nuclear power.

France went the nuclear path and their energy sector causes 50 million tons of CO2 per year.

Germany went the renewable path and their annual energy sector emissions are about 300 million tons of CO2.

They were a bit less in both countries due to Covid-19 causing shutdowns of industries.
