maybe in britain, but not everywhere. e.g. france has a lot of nuclear. whether that is eco friendly either is also debatable. but the point is, that not all electricity comes from un-eco friendly sources (e.g. wind, solar, wave, tidal etc), and certainly the proportion that doesn't will only rise in the future.
