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.
