Spain puts out more CO2 per capita than France and I don't expect it to improve as they reduce their nuclear capacity. Just like our plan to deal with that and boost renewables is big gas plants with long contracts and insane subsidies.



> Spain puts out more CO2 per capita than France

I mean yes, but only just[1]:

Spain: 4.47

France: 4.27

Portugal by comparison is 3.96 with zero nuclear.

> I don't expect it to improve as they reduce their nuclear capacity

Well they do - see the projections in the plan I linked above. They are building a lot more capacity and transmission.
