In the Carbon Awareness chapter there are 2 references to wind/renewables having a carbon intensity of 0 gCO2eq/kWh. This is an over simplification.
"If your computer is plugged directly into a wind farm, its electricity would have a carbon intensity of 0 gCO2eq/kWh since a wind farm emits no carbon to produce that electricity."
Thank you for reaching out and describing how the course could be improved with more detail. The course is only getting updated if it's a simple typo. We will make a note of it and come back to this during the next iteration! Thanks again!

I think it would be good to show a table or graph of the lifecycle carbon intensities for a range of energy sources. For example the median values from https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5_annex-iii.pdf#page=7
I think the would also help make the case that software needs to be efficient even if it is powered by green electricity sources.
I'd be happy to make a pull request.
