It's 7% of electricity, and only something like 2% of energy. And solar has been disastrous for Germany, having spent hundreds of billions of euro for a source of electricity that isn't very reliable and doesn't work when Germany needs electricity the most, in the winter. Which is also when Alberta needs electricity.

I couldn't find an exact number for Canada but I read that solar, wind, tidal, and biomass combined equal three percent of our energy.

But when you factor in hydroelectricity, then Canada destroys Germany in terms of C02 emissions/kWh.
