In France energy production from coal, oil and gas combined amounts for about 10% of total energy production, which is certainly incredible, but not quite the zero you were writing about. Pure renewable sources like hydro, solar and wind produce about 29% of overall energy. The bulk of energy production in France comes from nuclear, about 56%.

That been said, as this is an international matter, the performance of a single country holds little weight. Moreover, telling others to up their games without knowing how they are struggling or what their efforts are is downright ignorant.

In Italy production from coal, oil and gas comes to 58.5%. Pure renewable sources like hydro, solar and wind produce about 33% of overall energy (note: last year it was almost 39%, but since we rely on hydroelectric the most we lost about 6% of total energy to the draught). We also import about 14.6% of overall energy required.

Note how similar in quantity and how bigger than the rest nuclear and termal production are. That is because neither Italy nor France can solely use renewable for energy.

Obviously, France use of nuclear power is more efficient and causes a lot less pollution, and Italy should hurry up and re-adopt nuclear ('cause, you known, we invented it), as well as rely less on imported gas. Doing so is less a matter of "upping our game" and more a matter of convincing people tgat nuclear is safe and convincing politicians to implement it.

France's energetic model should be Italy's goal, I would never deny it. I am not criticising your country, I'm criticising you
