Absolutely everyone with half a brain is cutting fossil fuels. Spain just a few months ago got 100% renewable energy on a weekday. It won’t be very many years until they are fully renewable at all times. And they aren’t the only ones in Europe who are working towards that goal, because all EU countries have to by law reach at least 42% renewable energy by 2030, and after that the goal will be 100%.

You aren’t doing anyone any favours by pleading misleading information. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was just a mistake and not deliberately misleading.
Generating ELECTRICITY from renewables, even 100%, has little to nothing to do with cutting emissions. Electricity is a fraction of a country’s total energy mix.
Using your example of Spain who is a leader in renewables is still getting about
About 66% of total energy from fossil fuels. Their oil refining is up 3% this year.
For what it’s worth, I consider Europe a leader in emissions reductions. My comments are more about debunking misleading statements such as yours and to help people recognize how far we have to go and how little time there is.
Please choose your words more carefully. False narratives are a big part of our problem.
