Energy production from wind and solar now exceeds production from other sources.

Omissions

• The claim is only true if 'other sources' means fossil fuels (or any single competing source). Wind and solar (30.1%) do not exceed all other sources combined: fossil (29%) + nuclear (23%) = ~52% of EU electricity in 2025.
• Eurostat data (Energy in Europe 2026 edition) show renewables as a whole at 48% of electricity production, ahead of fossil fuels (28%) and nuclear (23%) — the aggregate renewable lead, not the wind+solar figure, is the more defensible framing.
• Data refers to electricity generation (not total energy production/consumption); the claim uses the broader term 'energy production', which includes heating, transport and other sectors where wind and solar play a much smaller role.
