EU League Table on share of renewables
When heat and transport energy is included, the UK ranks near the bottom for renewables development. Only Belgium, Cyprus and Malta are worse.

The way we use energy is shockingly wasteful. Every year, we throw away more than eight times the amount of energy supplied by all of the UK's nuclear power stations combined.
