Spain dropped the ball the last time (2008) when they were going to be the green country; when the 2008 crash came, they just dropped all that and actually, against EU law, started to do the opposite (basically going from subsidising solar to not allowing solar on houses to help the electricity providers through the crisis). Spain has sea in the south and east and basically mostly desert between the south and Madrid and Madrid and the north; it is hard to imagine that if you put the sea full of wind turbines and the land full with solar and wind, you would not massively overproduce electricity. No one would be bothered by it as no one lives in those places anyway and the farmers (they have a lot of power; so much that it ruins everything that is not ruined yet) can be re-educated to use solar panels to their advantage in both extra income (electricity generation), happier animals (shade from the solar panels), needing less water (shade from the solar panels) etc.
