How Green is South Australian Electricity?

(Written 20 January 2022)

I found this fascinating simulation of CO₂ production during electricity generation. It is out of date now as the data was collected in July 2019.

The simulations for Sweden, France and Ontario clearly show the low CO₂ levels generated when nuclear power is a major source of electricity. Germany has shut down more nuclear power plants since 2019 and is more and more dependent on fossil fuels despite its campaign to use more wind power. The Tesla battery in South Australia was in operation before July 2019.
