Real Independence: In 2014, Scotland used more Renewable Energy than Nuclear, Coal or Gas

Juan Cole writes Real Independence: In 2014, Scotland used more Renewable Energy than Nuclear, Coal or Gas.

Edie.net reports that in November, wind energy alone produced more than enough electricity for every home in Scotland. Over all in 2013, Scotland produced 46.6% equivalent of its gross electricity from renewables. Scotland, with a population of 4 million, is well on its way to getting 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2020, among the more ambitious goals set by anyone in the world.

Emphasis Mine

This is certainly putting Australia to shame, especially as Abbott seeks to dump the Renewable Engery Target.
