Other sources differ a bit (state in 2005):
http://ec.europa.eu/energy/res/index_en.htm

Sweden 30%
CZ 4.5%
UK 1.5%

My home country being 3x better than the UK is not nearly enough in this case (usually it's just 3x cheaper ;)

I'd aim for 50% renewable and most of the rest to be nuclear, plus spend more research money on fusion.

Another worrying issue that I am aware of is waste recycling.. that almost doesn't happen in the UK, either.

64% Austria (recycling 24 %/ compost 40 %)
33 % Sweden (25%/8%)
11 % UK (9%/2%) (2000/1)

Just dump it into the sea around the island, I guess..
