In addition, the title "Portugal just ran on 100% renewables" is inherently misleading because it implies the whole country operated free of fossil fuels and should really be "Portugal's electrical grid just ran on 100% renewables". Often less than half of a country's energy usage passes through the grid, with more than half of it being fuel in vehicles, fossil fuel heating, etc.


That's a real leap to think anyone given that title would assume for six days all vehicles in the country were swapped to electric. Specific to the absurd, implied context isn't misleading.
