Denizen48, Check out Uruguay. A small country with 63% of its electrical generation coming from hydro plants?
Because they could not afford fossil fuel. And yet I read that they're still driving vehicles with ICEs, and that 45% of homes in Uruguay are heated by burning wood:
Con el precio de la leña en aumento, ¿cómo se calefaccionan los hogares en Uruguay? (With the price of firewood on the rise, how are homes in Uruguay heated?)

Según los datos de la Encuesta Continua de Hogares (ECH) del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), en 2022 el 45,9% de los hogares eligió la leña como el energético principal para calentar ambientes, con la electricidad siendo la segunda opción elegida, aunque bastante por detrás, con el 23,6%.
(According to data from the Continuous Household Survey (ECH) of the National Institute of Statistics (INE), in 2022, 45.9% of households chose firewood as the main energy source to heat rooms, with electricity being the second chosen option. , although quite far behind, with 23.6%.)

Yes, expensive fossil fuel imports drive the need for "renewable energy," but Uruguay isn't the green utopia that the left is making it out to be.
