Comments by "n" (@user-pq4by2rq9y) on "Carbon Emissions In Europe hit lowest level In 30 yrs even in Winter!" video.
Of course it did, germany just closed the world's second biggest steel factory.

@bordersw1239 for many it did more than double. Steel manufacturing will be simply gone from Europe by next year. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if that alone is responsible for the record low emissions.

@dausume it also depends on what renewables and if you have access to energy storage (no, not batteries, but dams). Geothermal and tidal is fine, wind and solar is not, but you can more or less get away with it if you have hydro. Being on a smart grid does give you some flexibility but not a whole lot. Thing is with powerplants you really don't have a on/off switch, it can take a day to rev up a turbine, so you can't simply fill the gap left by solar and wind.
