The Guardian has yet another article about renewable energy targets in Europe.
• all member states increased their share of renewable energy in total consumption between 2006-2010. The EU has increased from 9% in 2006 to 12.4% in 2010So I checked Ontario's figures (page 42 of part 3 of the 2012 National Inventory Report), and was shocked - I say, I say, I say, shocked - to see Ontario's share of renewable energy in total consumption had fallen between 2006 and 2010.
Oh ... the international humility!
In search of some speck of accomplishment I looked at our emissions performance from 2006-2010.
Ontario's Greenhouse Gas emissions in the sector declined ~34% over that time.
How did the EU do on that metric?
Bonus question:
What does the discrepancy indicate?
