In 2025, for the first time, solar and wind produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the European Union. The bloc's goal to reduce fossil fuel use by 90% by 2040 seems on track.

Solar with storage has an EROEI of 4:1,

This is a worst-case estimate, a properly distributed system of storage gets an eroei of up to 15:1, which is equivalent to fossil fuels with far fewer externalities.

Nuclear can get more, true, but the externalities are pretty bad compared to panels and wind farms.
