General Discussion

A standard methodology ought to apply across all electric grids. I'm using 2025 numbers that add maintenance and manufacturing emissions to the statistics. Nuclear power has the advantage here.

Unfortunately if you go down the rabbit hole the numbers get squishy. My most pessimistic numbers have Denmark emitting six times the greenhouse gas emissions of France per kilowatt hour in 2025.

Denmark's biomass, waste incineration, gas, and coal power plants are not doing them any favors. The 800 megawatt + district heating Avedøre Power Station burns everything. For unfathomable reasons the "green" community is quite fond of it. I guess it's better than dirty old coal power plants. "Better than coal" is a very low standard.

Politically wind power has to be doing great in Denmark. Denmark is a major manufacturer of wind turbines and when people pay their large electric bills they have to feel there's a good reason for it.

Personally, I don't get any warm fuzzy feelings when I see giant wind turbines littering the land and ocean.
