Who gets the most of its energy from renewables?
This ranki.gg Rank it uses one measure: Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption), in %. The countries on the card are Uganda, Norway, India, United States, Saudi Arabia. You do not have to recall the numbers from memory. They sit in a column. The job is to match each country to the value that belongs to it, then lock the order in. Five tries. A card in the right spot locks. A card in the wrong spot turns red so you can move it.
Uganda beats Norway because firewood and charcoal count as renewable. A high share here often means energy poverty, not green power plants. Note: share of final energy, 2021.
The countries on the card
| # | Country | % |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Uganda | 91 |
| 2 | Norway | 61.4 |
| 3 | India | 34.9 |
| 4 | United States | 10.9 |
| 5 | Saudi Arabia | 0.1 |
Uganda leads this table at 91 %. After that: Norway at 61.4 (29.6 % under Uganda); India at 34.9 (26.5 % under Norway); United States at 10.9 (24 % under India); Saudi Arabia at 0.1 (10.8 % under United States). Uganda is 910 times Saudi Arabia. That multiple is the top row divided by the bottom row of this same table. In the wider list of 212 stored on the puzzle, Uganda is number 5, Norway is number 36, India is number 69, United States is number 142, Saudi Arabia is number 202.
The fact is the warning on the card. Uganda's share beats Norway's because firewood and charcoal count as renewable. A high share here often means energy poverty, not a grid of green power plants. The note says the figure is a share of final energy for 2021. India, the United States, and Saudi Arabia step down the table. The source is the World Bank's SDG 7.2 tracking series, drawing on the IEA, IRENA, the UN Statistics Division, the WHO, and the World Bank.
The source line on the puzzle is: World Bank (IEA, IRENA, UN Statistics Division, WHO, World Bank: SDG 7.2 tracking). The puzzle does not add a separate caveat beyond that source line and the fact above. ranki.gg does not invent a value that is missing from that source. If two countries were so close that the order would depend on rounding, they would not be the pair the card asks you to separate.
When you finish the puzzle, the answer screen repeats the order, the fact, and a link to the source. That link is the same URL cited here: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS.
