"That’s 0 g/kWh for all energy (including heating, transport, shipping, aviation)" Biomass is not at all 0 g/kWh. To the contrary the CO2 emissions are huge: http://www.pfpi.net/wp-content/uplo...

"Yes, and it also has among the highest taxes (possibly the highest, together with Norway), which have nothing to do with wind." To the contrary, much of those taxes are needed to bridge the gap ...
