Indeed. Europe is still heavily reliant on coal and petroleum. Anti-nuclear crowd is incredibly robust and they are limiting expansion in numerous places. Windmills, solar and hydro are not capable of replacing fossil fuels without the help of nuclear, unless we want to cover all of Europe in windmills and solar panels.

But we are moving in the right direction, but Europe is not doing as well as we like to pretend.



Not reliant on petroleum for energy, only transport. Gas (in the European sense, not the American one) is a large amount. Renewable is 15% at present.
