Am I glad to be proven wrong ! Electricity generation to the extent of 70-100 % of fully 21 countries was from renewable sources in 2016.
50-70 % of the electricity generation of another 27 countries was from renewable sources. so thats close to 50 countries in the world whose generation of electricity 50 % and above is from renewables.
30-50 % of the electricity generated in a further 16 countries was from renewables.
20-30 % of the electricity generated in a further 15 countries was from renewables.
Thus 79 of the 195 countries in the world, i.e. 40 %, now have atleast 20 % of their total electricity generation from renewables. We need to ramp this up !
+++++++++++++++++++++
But when looked at another way - fossil fuel consumption as a % of total energy consumption - then the picture is disappointing. Only 21 countries in the world use 20 % or more of their total energy in the form of non-fossil fuels. And only SIX countries draw 50 % or more of their total energy from non-fossil fuel sources.
