Meaningwhile, today 17/11/2023 the same Portugal is back to the normal and emitting 170g CO2/kwh [1][2]
- This is 6.8x the emissions of Sweden (25g) running on Nuclear and Hydro
- This is 4.1x the emissions of France (41g) running on Nuclear, Hydro and Gas
- This is 2.8x the emissions of Switzerland (59g) running on Nuclear and Hydro
But still much better than "Green" Germany that reaches 647g CO2/kwh.... with 22GW of power generated from Coal after closing its Nuclear powerplants for reasons.
Interestingly, these facts are not praised in the press as much as "Country X has been able to run renewable for X hours".
Maybe because, like the article point out, Nuclear is not entirely "privatised". Nuclear "just works" and consequently does not act as an interesting roller-coaster for speculators on the energy market and stock market ?
