Look at how much coal was burned 10 years ago (black color), and how much less we are burning now, because solar (yellow color) and wind (two top green colors) have taken over in the Danish electric power generation.

Like, really.
But also: can we please talk about the general upwards trend in consumption? about the issues of burning biomass, and gas, and the fact that all rising energy use is problematic and we have to use energy smarter, not harder?

it's only 1/3 of the way through 2026, so 2026 shows about 1/3 of the average annual use
