Yeah, maybe if you live in Germany. But not if you live in near the equator.

Also, a lot of solar generation goes unmeasured because smaller installations are off-grid. Those figures shown for solar are likely only from larger-scale farms.

Energy consumption isn't the same as production. A lot of renewable (and nonrenewable) energy is produced that is never consumed, effectively stranded or wasted. One chart is confusing because its titled "consumption" but the chart axis measures "production".

Even the "obvious facts" don't include the whole story sometimes.

I got two things for this:

First, you're right: nobody understands the difference between electricity and energy. But when explained, everyone is like "oh yes, cars, and machines... oh and all those production processes that can't run on electricity. I see yes, energy." But it's a sort of a fake, surface level mentality because they don't grasp it... so next time they'll STILL say shit about energy when they mean electricity. (and normies don't know that electricity is, like one-quarter or something of all energy).

Two, in an interconnected Europe-wide grid it's basically impossible to say what portion of which country's generation was which source:

It quickly spirals into a statistical impossibility in serious need of an electrical engineer.

I don't envy you lol

It's very difficult for most people to change their mind once they've decided on something as it would mean they are wrong. I think most people consider themselves to be smart, and being wrong challenges this belief.

Luckily for me, I know I'm a fucking moron, so I'm usually able to pivot what I think about something when presented with ample evidence.

People don't generally look to understand things. They generally learn one narrative and cling to it. And the media has been feeding them a false narrative their whole lives so the programming is deep. Even when we use Google to 'verify', we use it with our own bias and googles bias. We always look to confirm our own bias. So it is quite difficult to break out of these deep programmed patterns.

Ask on which chair they would sit on: electric chair or heated chair. Let them feel the difference.

How is oil used for energy/electricity? I get coal and gas, but doesn't oil need to be refined into something else to become useful for energy production? And what's the difference really between energy and electricity?
