Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia & the Democratic Republic of Congo now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable energy. A further 40 countries generated at least 50% of their electricity from renewable sources. #ShareGoodNewsToo www.independent.co.uk/tech/renewab...

Great news. But this is also what bugs me about lack of action on climate change. It's so clear going full renewable is feasible. We just need willpower. It's purely whores for the fossil fuel industry that stop us. How about we take some of the $800B we spend on weapons n put it to something useful

Good, but I guess the topography isn't the same everywhere.

Cool to read about progress, but one caveat about these data: "[...] produced more than 99.7 per cent of the electricity they consumed using geothermal, *hydro*, solar or wind power." Hydroelectric power is renewable, but it can be very environmentally destructive locally.

Scotland currently produces about 113% but isn't counted as a separate country. Ah well.

Iceland shouldn't count. They have a ludicrous advantage living on a volcano.
