As said comparisons are very problematic, we dont all use the same amounts. Reality is there is insufficient power produced by renewables for everyone to switch to them anyway. Personally I would like to see renewable capacity increase, in conjunction with stronger requirements on new build energy efficiency. I dont like solar farms, though I invest in them, but would prefer to see mandatory panels on all new roofs and houses designed to maximise solar gain. It's not popular here, I know. The emergence of data centres and cryptocurrency presents an alarming threat to us ever achieving the aim of consuming less power, which I think is the only way we will ever combat climate change. Again, many people here do not even believe such things are real, so there is little point in arguing.
