Part of these renewables are the so-called "biomass", which leads to pretty substantial CO2 emissions.

So basically they replaced a CO2-neutral energy source, with another which is pretty CO2-intensive.

Renewable does not mean good for the environment!

Biomass use in certain European countries is... all sorts of questionable. Some of it is wood imports from America for use as "green" energy, discounting the energy cost of shipment.
