This representation is misleading because it says nothing of how the rest of the energy was produced.
For instance, France and Germany look similar with this simple metric. But in France most of the energy comes from nuclear plants, yielding no greenhouse gas emissions; in Germany, it is gas and coal. The ratio of renewable energy is similar, but the French mix is sustainable, while the German mix absolutely is not.

Yep a better metric would be the share of fossil energy.
Also it's not clear if this represents produced or consumed energy. That's two different things.
For instance Germany is proud of no longer producing nuclear electricity but they still import a significant amount from other countries, notably France.

@photos_floues @EU_Commission Lol your comment makes no sense. That picture only focuses on renewable sources. Nuclear power or fossil fuels aren't renewables lol
