We don't need to solve everything now.

The headline is still good and doesn't need to be more specific to be good news.

But the headline is very misleading. The article says a third of their electricity comes from wind. 1/3 is not what came to my mind when I read, "main source of electricity." And now knowing that electricity is only 18% of their total energy, that means wind isn't really doing much at all for them. So you can't actually look at this and say, "wow, the main source of electricity! Climate change is nearly conquered! We just need more a few more windmills!" Like many will think when they read this headline.
In which country do you live? At least in Germany heating with electricity is not that common.

I do have separate expectations on electricty vs heating.
