HaraldvonBlauzahnWind & Solar Surpassed Fossil Fuels In EU In 2025 - CleanTechnica
…in generation of *electricity. Most energy usage in the EU isn’t electric and non-electric energy usage is almost exclusively fossil fuels.
Electricity is replacing fossil cars with electric ones and heating (heat pumps). As it has replaced the use of candles.
Yes, although very slowly.
A mere 15% of new EU sold cars are BEVs, and the average age of the fleet is 12 years, and electric heavy vehicles are still almost non-existent.
Meanwhile, central & southern Europe are still running on Fossil Gas despite heatpumps being around for ~50 years by now. The key issue is that the price of electricity has been far too high, and getting even higher in recent years.
Even so, baby steps are still steps. Just because not everything has been replaced doesn’t mean it won’t get replaced in the (far) future.
