A lot ? Not really.
Imports can account for up to 15% of our electricity (its lower on most days) and a lot of that comes from low carbon sources (Like France which is mostly Nuclear & Hydro, plus Belgium & Norway, which have no coal generation at all). Odd thing as well, on most days we import, we also export, mostly to Ireland.

That is just complete BS.
You cannot separate out the source of peoples electricity like that.
