Hardly surprising. Such a small population does not need to produce large amounts of energy. Instead they produce huge amounts of coal, most of which is sold to China.
Australia has little Hydro/geothermal so we punch well above our weight considering. Biomass might be renewable but it's not emissions free so probably shouldn't be included.
@@LD2022-g7t Agreed. Well, you do have lots of sunshine and some States are windy, but it would be a good environmental policy not to sell all that nasty coal, but you probably need the cash.
@@thelloydersvk5068 you are explaining his point, yes, that is what he means. and you are not making his point less valid. it is indeed very much a valid point. 8 out of 20 countries on this top 20 list are on continental europe and if you'd combine those they's be second on the list and still be smaller then the USA or China in population or land mass.
Europe is making a big effort, but we have disadvantages in land area to install renewable energies. The US, Canada and Brazil have a lot of free space to install.
For Canada to be in the top 4 the entire time, #1 at several years, is incredible. We only have 40 million people. I guess Niagara Falls was a big contributor, been running since the start of the use of electricity. If this was done on an output/citizen we would be at the top by an unbeatable margin!
The future belongs to nuclear fusion energy, that's safe, clean and abundant. There's currently a race between China-US/Elon to land man on moon mining Helium-3 nuclear fusion fuel. One ton of Helium-3 can provide the whole world's energy needs for ten thousand years. It'd be a great benefit to mankind if US-China can cooperate on projects like moonshot. However, when China was still backward, there was a US law that permanently bans space cooperations, with a goal to preserve the dominance of western civilizations.
This kind of interesting, but doesn't mean much. Of course big countries will produce more renewables. It would have been more useful having it expressed as stacked bar graph with renewables and fossil fuels consumed per person (for each country). That way we could have not only gotten an indication of how well they are doing in replacing fossil fuels, but also how well they are doing in reducing energy consumption per person.
Source: our world in data Per capita electricity generation from renewables, 2023 1) Spain: 2,843 kWh 2) USA: 2,833 kWh 3) China: 2,036 kWh 4) Vietnam: 1,139 kWh 5) South Korea: 1,061 kWh 6) India: 269 kWh Measured in kilowatt-hours per person. Renewable electricity is the sum of electricity from hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, wave and tidal sources. Copy paste.
@@arthurmarcil6787 we can cherry pick data to support our bias. Is Biomass if shipped ( diesel ) from Canada and burnt in Norway really doing the environment any good ?

The numbers look big, but theyre actually puny. What was UK, 120TWh? We're a 200GW average economy, almost all from o+g. We need 120+TWh of energy every 4 weeks. There's still such a long way to go!
@@IVANGARCIA-ks4vp it's marketing. Every one loves renewables but scratch the surface you start to see some problems. The biomass burnt in Norway for carbon credits is first processed and shipped from Canada ( Diesel ) zero emission ? Sort of but not really.
@udishomer5852 I work near a pumped hydro project. The idea is it's more competitive than batteries for large scale storage of renewable power. Renewables with out storage will never really replace base load power sources..
Somewhat misleading... Divide TWh/year by population (in millions) to get TWh/year/million-citizens and it turns out Canada is 8x better at renewable energy output than USA. Also USA ranks 9th below even Russia and Brazil.
if this viideo in stead showed how much renewable energi pr person living in thhe country.. then scandinavia would be much much higher. specialy norway. big oil country but very big renewable energi country. then usa would be much lower. but because it is made like this on the video, american politicians might say.. we do good. but in reallity not soo god, this video will make politicians still use fosil fuel.
Yes, that will be Helium-3 nuclear fusion fuel. China want to land man on the moon before 2030 and to colonize it. The first thing to do will be to mine Helium-3. It's been said just one ton of Helium-3 can provide the entire world ten thousand years of clean energy. Elon Musk want to use SpaceX manned crew to do that first.
I agree. Probably AI generated. USSR is under the top countries in the beginning and gets replaced by Russia in 1984 (break-up of the soviet union was 1991). USSR and Russia heavily relied on fossil energy, Russia still does. Another inconsistency, I don't believe that Norway (pop. 5 million) most of the years produced more renewable energy than the tech-nation Japan (pop. 124 million). Brazil, an emerging nation, at some point is in front of the USA while Argentina doesn't even appear on the list.
I came in anyway to see who was in second place.
😂😂😂
Why can't AMERICA retain number one forever ....this is so disturbing

Same here.😂
@@mamacryright5740population man
All countries on this list are winners! let's all humans work together for our earth.
Being on this list alone doesn’t make a nation a winner, they can easily be on this list while still burning tons of fossil fuels.
The amount of pollution most of these countries produce and in a lot of cases have done so for centuries vastly overwhelms any good their green energy does
This data should be on a per capita basis or percent of total energy produced or both.
Countries work towards carbon neutrality is contributing to Earth
@@jonathanp1884 WTF with India then
Lets not forget China also responsible for making the 95% for solar panels that world installs.
Only when you make things, you can do things.

Would be interesting to see this as renewable energy produced as a percentage of energy consumption
For your interest, China;s renewable energy production surpassed those from fossil fuels in 2022, so it would be 52% from renewable sources in 2024.

If it has anything to do with energy, you know whos gonna be in top
A billion odd people use a lot of energy when they start to buy fridges and TVs
Did you see this to the end? Are you aware USA has been producing oil at record pace in the past 3 years?
Energy is the reason their manufacturing is dominating
Really disappointed to see Australia drop off the list in 1980 and not return until 2018.
But for less that 30m people it’s good against China’s 1.5 billion population. And it’s not percentages of total which makes this family meaningless.

What utter nonsense. It give no information whatsoever on the fossil fuel being burnt, not the ratio between renewables and fossil fuels.
I'd like to see a per capita analysis.
The amount in TWh is really irrelevant. You need to take the population into account and give percentages of total energy use.
You're talking about per capita energy, this is nominal energy.

Outros parâmetros também são importantes:
1) qual a proporção dos renováveis na matriz de cada país;
2) qual a produção de renováveis por habitante.
Europe is making a big effort, but we have disadvantages in land area to install renewable energies. The US, Canada and Brazil have a lot of free space to install.
Italy is building a lot in America and other places out of EU through ENI etc etc
Other options are rooftop solar and offshore wind. Both have huge potential in Europe.

I guess Niagara Falls was a big contributor, been running since the start of the use of electricity. If this was done on an output/citizen we would be at the top by an unbeatable margin!
Brazil is been doing an amazing job in renewable energy, and for a long time.
Nice stats. Would be nicer to put also the output in percentage of the global production
A fascinating video. Very interesting to see how things changed over time.
Would be great, if you take the EU in, as a whole!

Last year I produced about 5 MWh of electricity using a fusion reactor. It is safely located about 93 million miles from me.

And yet CO2 emissions keep rising. Someone is tricking us.
population growth and urbanisation outpacing the transition to renewables. not that hard to grasp
If you bother to complete your grade school, you will not post such laughable comment.
I wouldn't believe everything China is reporting either. They are renowned for doctoring figures to look better than they really are.
