See near real time carbon intensity of electricity generation around the world.
Ooo… Australia looks bad!
Even south Australia, which has the most renewable penetrative for a major grid, looks bad!
South Australia has a huge amount of solar and wind, but relativity little storage, and basically no renewable base load (hydro, geothermal, nuclear). While the average renewable energy usage is fairly high, the instantaneous renewable usage can drop to almost 0 some days.
Solutions are being implemented, and the renewable mix is gradually improving.
