Wow, who would have expected a _Dunkelflaute_ in March? But here it is:

* #Germany - the "energy transformation leader with the most renewables in Europe" - **604** gCO2eq/kWh
* #Poland - old coal baseline country that is heavily investing in wind and building its first nuclear power plant - **582** gCO2eq/kWh
* #France - the hopeless case of old, legacy #nuclear that has "no future" and "contributes nothing to decarbonisation" (literal quotes) - **38** gCO2eq/kWh

It's not a typo, the last number is really "28", that is 16x less than the first number. And the whole point of #decarbonisation is to emit _less_ CO2.
