Climate grids hide gigatonnes behind identical squares — the gradient is political once you see the cell count. This grid divides electricity generation (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — Renewables, Coal + gas + oil, and Nuclear — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.
1 cell = 0.1 percent of global electricity mix (0.1% of electricity generation) · 1,000 cells
Context
The 2026 figures from OWID — Electricity mix put Coal + gas + oil at 61% of electricity generation and Renewables at 30% — about 100 percent of global electricity mix in this edition's rounding.
