This article is two years old
While cool and all why are we posting 2 year old articles? Would be much more interested in the current numbers.
The exact thing conservatives are trying to tell you is impossible.
There several different greens on that diagram and no fucking key. It’s not in the article either.
Which seven?
Seven countries now generate nearly all of their electricity from renewable energy sources, according to newly compiled figures.
Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo produced more than 99.7 per cent of the electricity they consumed using geothermal, hydro, solar or wind power.
Nepal is a great example of why this doesn’t tell the complete picture: if transport hasn’t shifted 100% to electric, you still got a long way to go. In their defence, Nepal is making steps in this direction - people that can afford a car are choosing BYD electric cars. But for now, the vast majority are getting round on mopeds and motorcycles. The pollution in Kathnandu is acrid at times.
I would hope that Iceland is further down the path to electric vehicles.
one of the few decent things in my life is my state has a lot of nuclear and wind and is ramping up on solar.
