Given that Costa Rica, Uruguay, Iceland, Norway, Paraguay, and Tajikistan already run on 100% renewables (and Tokelau runs on 100% solar + batteries): I would judge this to be extremely solved.
- vinay427 8y agoI believe this is incorrect, at least according to this source I found: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS?year_high_desc=true https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS?year_hig... You may be mistaking energy production with energy consumption. However, I'm not entirely sure what qualifies as "energy" in the list that I found. If we mean only electricity, then I believe some of these countries are still less than 100% run on renewables.
- learnstats2 8y agoYour data is from 2015. There are plenty of sources illustrating that things have changed in that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay#Green_energy_supply https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay#Green_energy_supply
- vinay427 8y agoProviding evidence that is speculative for one country is a far cry from the evidence needed to support a definitive statement about several countries, particularly when I provided a source that strongly suggests something to the contrary. I doubt every country on that list completely halted the use of non-renewables in the last 3-4 years given that use was in the double digits in many cases.
