    I reckon we’d be doing even better if it was total renewables, we lean toward wind power more than most, what with being an island and all

      That would put you in competition with places like canada, that are 76% renewables though, if you count hydro.

      For wind alone (according to wikipedia) you do do better, but are still in 6th place.

        You’d also have to count all the oil and gas that Canada exports to be burned around the world. Whether it’s used domestically or not doesn’t really make a difference.
