This is a perfect case study on how someone at Bloomberg doesn't know how to read a graph. Or his boss commanded him to strong arm a factually incorrect statement into a graph that says something entirely different, perhaps even betting on the likelihood that the readers also don't know how to read it.
Southern Europe has been installing cheap Chinese solar like crazy.
Also incredible growth in some Northern European countries.
Solar has been displacing carbon fuels.

In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”
They are adding more sands to bury their heads in. How pathetic. They might as well ban "China" throughout the country and declare having defeated "a certain enemy" in the Cold War 2.0.

New energy storage refers to electricity storage processes that use non-conventional methods such as battery, hydrogen, supercapacitor, compressed air, and flywheel systems. China's new energy storage capacity grew 30-fold since 2020, and now has 40% of the world's total.
After the European Union–imposed fragmentation of the public energy provider, a continuous looting has begun. The price of electricity is “regulated” by an energy "stock-exchange" consisting of just five (!!!) private companies — the very definition of a cartel. This means that any private individual can install renewable energy sources and, as an external partner of these five companies, receive dividends. The price has somewhat stabilized at around +70% compared to four years ago, though at times it has reached +200%. Why? Because with the “marginal pricing” system, the price is determined by the most expensive form of electricity production in the country — which, of course, is natural gas.
Thus, “green development” in Greece has become a circus of profiteering. The entire country is now covered with wind turbines; national parks and mountains are being destroyed; fertile plains are turned into photovoltaic parks — even though Greece doesn’t need that much energy, since it already produces 16 GW while it only requires 12 GW. I doubt they’re exporting it — it seems the exploitation of locals is enough for them. This is what happens when you have clowns for politicians.
