"The Institute of Economic Studies at the University of Iceland said in a February report that the country will not be able to abide by the COP21 climate change agreement signed in Paris in 2015. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising in all sectors of the economy, except in fisheries and agriculture, it said." This is unfortunate. Given Iceland's cheap & abundant renewable energy (2X Norway's electricity production per capita!), they really ought to be following the example set by Norway and prioritising Electric Vehicles through tax policies, etc. It would be easy to build excellent charging infrastructure for EVs in this island nation - instead you have hordes of tourists driving around the ring road in smelly diesels. I do see a few Nissan Leafs around Reykjavik and Akureyri, but there is barely any public charging infrastructure for driving between cities and tourist attractions.
