Data Set

The Student Guide contains the Introduction to Energy Choices – Data Set.
Answer Key: Question 1: Answers will vary. (Example: Both Sweden and France’s share of low carbon electricity has stayed steadily over 90% from 2000 to 2024. Sweden and France’s trend lines stayed steady and flat, while the other countries started with lower percentages and increased more over time.)
Question 2: The United Kingdom had the biggest increase, more than doubling its low carbon electricity from 2000 to 2024. (65.99 – 25.19 = 40.8% increase).
Question 3: The United States had a little more low carbon electricity in 2024 (41.92 – 38.06 = 3.86% more). From 2000 to 2024 China increased its low carbon electricity by 20.19%, while the United States increased by 12.86%.
Question 4: Answers will vary. (Example: I think that Germany and the UK started investing more into low carbon energy sources after 2010 because new technology made it cheaper and easier to use. Maybe they also passed laws to reduce pollution or reduce coal usage.)
Question 5: Answers will vary.
