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:
- all gross production in Germany?
- all consumption in Germany (thus including "exports" or electricity across all the lines to neighboring countries)
- the back-up systems of fossil fuel (gas) generation that allow for wind and solar to even exist?
It quickly spirals into a statistical impossibility in serious need of an electrical engineer.
I don't envy you lol
