   No it isn't. Not even close.   
      
   It's also important to note that Spain's energy grid collapsed,   
   so whatever actual percentage is "Renewable," it's too much.   
      
   What you probably meant, and were too dishonest to say, is that   
   most of the energy PRODUCED by Spain -- not consumed, PRODUCED --   
   is some flavor of "Renewable"... whether it's actually renewable   
   or not.   
      
   Of course there's massive arguments over even WHAT "renewable"   
   means. Is nuclear energy renewable? Is new uranium growing on   
   trees? And speaking of trees:  If you burn one tree per year to   
   heat your house, you will have replaced that first tree, absorbed   
   all the CO2 from that first tree you burned, in a mere 40 to 70   
   years. Which means you're running a deficit of 39 to 69 trees,   
   and only then if there's zero growth in energy demand over that   
   time. Yet we pretend THAT is renewable...
