Love Green = Blame America for not Being #1
The US is #1 in the number of kWh's produced by the included renewable energy sources but the environazis had to throw in the dummy figures for the EU-27 which skews the rankings and averages because some of those member-states are listed seperately as well. Anything but give credit where credit is due.
The rankings should have dictated the order of the graph; the US kWh's produced is more than twice those produced by Germany, almost double the produced kWh's for China, and 30 times the amount produced by Brazil. And the comparitive production by Spain, Portugal, Iceland and New Zealand is in total less than the US produces annually.
NIMBY rules the limousine-liberals that won't allow wind power around their communities (see Massachusetts) and in fact many PC-enviros argue against it because a few birds get whacked by a turbine blade very, very rarely. They don't use the same argument for protesting against all aircraft usage which kills hundreds-of-thousands of birds every year. It is a ruse to NIMBY.
Why doesn't the list include hydroelectric power which is also a renewable energy source? Because it is also verboten by the environazis. Hydroelectric power is not politically-correct. And the US has a ton of it too and it would make the US look too good in the rankings; and we know they don't deserve it!
