You like numbers ? See those numbers

- What does it mean that the page has live data visualization. How often is the data updated ?

- How many sources of data are there. Does it cover all of them in every country ? Are they all online all the time ?

- Why is Estonia dark brown the whole time but when i click on it is see

  wind ++
  solar ?
  hydro
  biomass ?
  nuclear
  gas ?
  coal
  oil ?
  unknown ++++++++++
and it still has 595 gCO2eq/kWh

- What does "?" stands for in the results? Are some sources unavailable or is the data corrupted or what ?

- Why there is nothing under coal ?

- What does unknown here mean ? Does it contribute to gCO2eq/kWh ? I mean, so much of unknown energy. Are you serious ?

- What is the metric used after all ?

Is this software even alpha ? What is the version ? That is all very important when you create "facts" like this in Internet




Some links: Polish city polluted more then Beijing. https://www.ft.com/content/6712dd66-c91d-11e6-8f29-9445cac89...

33 out of 50 worst polluted cities are in Poland (due coal) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyIT4l4WIAEpzuF.jpg:large

Poland could be fined up to 900 mil Eur for crossing the pollution limits.


Even some numbers might be missing, you cannot argue fact, that producing electricity from clean sources is viable. It's just matter of first accepting the fact burning coal to produce electricity is bad and second take actions to shift towards clean energy production. However most advocates here seems to be stuck on point one (acceptance). Take look at Norway again. They produce 20 GW from hydro. It must be more they consume. I don't need more examples to stress out the fact that 100% clean energy production is viable.
