Yes, a lot of countries are wasting money on wind and solar.
The only ‘renewable’ sources of power that are actually reliable enough to be worth having or hydroelectricity and geothermal power but not all places have the geology needed for them and hydro has something of a bad reputation (well deserved given the environmental impact and what happens when dams fail).
As for who uses the most renewables, Norway has a lot of hydro and Iceland uses geothermal extensively. Denmark has managed to get about 20% wind capacity but hasn’t even shut down any coal power plants and at the moment pretty much just sells the wind power to Norway really cheap where it’s used to pump water uphill.
I hear they are looking into Nuclear Fusion manley. We could be looking at that as our main power source within the next 25-30 years.
we have some great wind farms up here in Northern Ontario they are producing electricity at 30% higher than projected levels.Wind farm at Spring Bay on Manitoulin Island has made that area fully self sufficient from the grid
