MODERATORS
This is for sure fantastic, don't get me wrong, but Europe has also exported some of its most polluting industries abroad. And then we also wag our finger at places like China and India.
China and India are great with solar: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/installed-solar-pv-capacity
Current government in India is heavily pushing for solar energy.
Incredibly based
Don't even need to go that far. The french have outsourced their fossil-based electricity industry to Germany.
I don't know how much of french electricity is actually fossil-free, but when someone says "68% nuclear in the mix" they should maybe mention the 16.4% foreign electricity in their mix, as well.
You know France is the largest exporter of electricity right?

It's not because you've picked one period to prove your point that it's the truth over a longer period. And France has been a net exporter to Germany for much longer than the opposite.
Not for the last 6 years, at least. And I'm pretty sure those 13 TWh didn't just randomly appear in 2017, you usually don't abruptly go from exporter to importer.

France has almost always been net exporter, don't change the facts please.
Guess where all that Italian import comes from. Really, it's clear you have very superficial understanding and very strong opinions. Typical for germans tbh
The EU's consumption based emissions per capita have also fallen.
