They were far behind on that too. In the absolute terms, they deployed much more than EU but their energy mix by % is pretty similar (although still lower) than EU right now.

    Because of the population size/ electrical needs the raw % is a bit misleading. Their current total renewable output could satisfy the entirety of EUs needs. If you look at their per capita metric their rate of adoption is quite high compared to EU.

    They're also almost doubling their nuclear capacity in the next 5ish years and this number is without that.
