I smell bovine excrement. They may have the capacity, but there is no way they can cover the variable demand.
BULLCRAP
So that means those countries have almost zero carbon emissions, right?
Right?
Buehler?
Considering that electricity production for Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay and the Democratic Republic of Congo amounted to about a few large D Cell batteries before the Green Energy came into the picture, this isn’t such a big deal. Try producing 99% of the total power consumed by Cut and Shoot Texas with Green Sources, then we’ll talk…..
Iceland is sitting on a goldmine of geothermal (natural nuclear) energy.
Radioactive decay of uranium and thorium means they will never run out of electricity.
They have little farmland and that’s problematic.

What’s for lunch? Fish and pickled shark.
What’s for dinner? Fish and pickled shark.
misinfo/disinfo/malinfo - too much to critique.
however, just consider wind droughts for starters.
“More than 99.7 per cent of electricity in Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay and the Democratic Republic of Congo comes from geothermal, hydro, solar or wind power.”
yeah, lets lump in geothermal for Iceland and hydro with solar and wind to make things sound really great ...
assuming any of that is actually true, any country powered by wind and solar simply proves that 3rd world shithole countries have little use for reliable electricity ...
They counted geothermal and hydro, which are legitimate and reliable energy sources, and tried to fool the reader into thinking that this “renewable miracle” was due to wholly unreliable windmills and solar panels.
There’s no way wind and solar are ever going to meet the 24/7/365 base load demand requirements of an industrialized society’s grid....ain’t physically gonna happen, but in the meantime, maybe they can find some unicorns that will shit out skittles for the kiddies....
Nonsense. Fossil fuels are not derived from fossils but from petroleum, formed in Earth’s mantle is is constantly being formed. This is not about energy or “renewable energy” which has yet to be defined. It’s about money and control.
That’s quite a list.
In the US, wind power is dependent on government subsides.
I suspect that in other countries, wind and solar power are government projects with painted rosie projections.
My feasibility study in 1981 concluded that US wind power is dependent on government subsidies to be profitable and holds true today.
FTA: “More than 99.7 per cent of electricity in Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay and the Democratic Republic of Congo comes from geothermal, hydro, solar or wind power.”
I wold bet dollars to donut holes the operative words there are “Hydro” and “Geothermal.”
Fake news.
I am sure they measured the potential wind, solar and hydro power installations, and not what was actually delivered to the power grid.
For isntance there is a claim of the trains in the Netherlands run 100% on “renewable” power, but what it really means is the train lines in the Netherlands are “buying renweable power” from the grid system via third party contractors/producers of “renewables”; but again that is not real measure of the actual power those renewable sources actually produced and delivered to the grid. When the wind is not blowing right or clouds and rain or snow are blocking the sun something else has to be making up for the power they are not creating. Those lapses demonstrate how those sources are not really “sustainable”.
arent we destroying hydro?
Garbage. They cannot cover the variable demand without backup from other nations. The outlier is Iceland. Most of that nation is basically one big volcano. Geothermal power has been there for a very long time.
All these miraculous things made possible by massive taxation and subsidies eg tax-breaks for ‘green’ companies. A kind of eco-fascism.
Probably more like: Of our own energy we create, 99% is from wind.....but 95% of our energy is imported.
...there’s always ‘that part’ they’re not telling you. This is absolute garbage - what when the wind isn’t blowing?
Iceland has natural hot springs. I bet geothermal, which is steady, proven technology, is the lion’s share of Icelandic energy output.
Greenies don’t like Hydro, and they ignore geothermal, and those are the two that are continuous and are generally not eyesores or bird-killers.
