Yeh. If the many larger countries were pulling the same effort the UK would be way down the list
Can’t speak for the rest of the UK but new build houses in Scotland are required to have solar panels
On wind we are indeed a powerhouse. We see the odd headline that has something like Scotland wind power produced enough for 3 Scotlands. Wish we’re were better at storing it
I think there’s a use case for hydrogen batteries there. Use surplus green power generated overnight to split water, then recombine it during high demand times. It’s not useful for vehicles, but for static facilities I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
Sad because the UK’s quite small/unsunny and that means most other countries aren’t doing much?
I thought that the UK was quite strong in wind, so it’d be interesting to see that charted.

But old though.
It is a map, though, unlike OP’s image!
