Yeah, Portugal runs under the radar here. I found rhis https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/portugal Seems like you got rid of coal already. Oil/gas seem to hover however. Do you have plans about getting rid of fuel cars? And what do you use gas for? In Germany it's mostly heating, I would have guessed you don't need so much heating in Portugal and can use the AC in winter. And good look with these oaks, I hate forest being cut down. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 years ago There a few incentives towards the purchase of eletric cars but its something still way out of reach for the majority of people. But the number of eletric cars is rising. Gas is mostly used to run a few eletric generation plants. AC is a doubled edge sword here as houses are poorly insulated and the minimal recommmended power for having an equipment is 10.35Kva, which is a power requirement where all VAT is applied at 23%. The equipments are also very expensive and the installation even more. And thank. Lets hope we can make enough noise to have to trees left alone permalink fedilink source parent
