Consider Poland. 80% of its electricity production (as of this moment, almost midnight) is coal + gas (and it imports from Germany). Its generation mix results in 855 grams of CO₂ per kWh.

Consider Germany. 50% is coal + gas, 22% is wind + biomass. At 490 g/kWh.

Italy: 60% gas at 386 g/kWh.

Then compare them to France: 75% of the electricity comes from nuclear, at 47 g/kWh.

All of this despite abundant wind+solar capacity installed in Germany, France, Italy, and Poland.

There is a strong need to remove CO₂-intensive generators and replace them by something that does not send CO₂ into the air.

There is also a strong need to build up capacity to store energy.
