posts_gdocs: 1H6WkdvSkHYtcRXLd7dtcRX_QxEb4FQ8xhwpuKCO2UsE

This table contains the GDocs posts. A lot of interesting data is the content column which is a json blob containing, among other things, the archieml as parsed json. For easy searching etc, a markdown copy of the content is available in the markdown column. If you want to query all posts (both wordpress and gdocs), use the posts_unified table or the posts_unified_with_content view.

But there is a lot of variation in low-carbon electricity production across the world. We see this in the map, which shows the share of electricity that is low-carbon. Some countries get all – or almost all – of their electricity from low-carbon sources. Paraguay, Iceland, Sweden, and Uruguay, for example, get more than 95% of their electricity from these sources. France gets more than 90%. However, many other countries are still strongly reliant on fossil fuels, with only a few percent being low-carbon. Low-carbon electricity can come from nuclear, or renewables such as hydropower, solar and wind. The contribution of each varies from country-to-country. We see this in the stacked bar chart: In Iceland and Uruguay, for example, most electricity comes from renewables – particularly hydropower. In others, such as France and Sweden, nuclear energy plays a dominant role.
