Europe's electricity getting cleaner:

"Emissions-free sources produced 74% of electricity in January-June, of which 50% was from sources like wind and solar, and 24% from nuclear, industry association Eurelectric said.

's electricity demand has also decreased, making it easier for green sources to cover a bigger share of the overall mix."

@CelloMomOnCars worrisome that demand dropped. Electrification will increase electricity demand but reduce carbon emissions.

I'm not too worried. If you read the article you will see that they attribute the overall drop to conservation following the Russian gas crisis, and industry reducing output.
