    What happened in Spain at the end of the 2010s? Did they accidentally build a nuclear reactor?

    These numbers seem really small compared to all the headlines I’ve seen over the years. I expected Chile to be closer to 99% if it’s the leading country in solar power.

    I misread the title and thought it said 9.4% of its energy from renewables not just solar. Way to go Chile!
