Fun Fact: Since 2006-2007 Uruguay’s power infrastructure has mostly relied on green energy, making up over 90% of their power infrastructure, also making them fully self sustaining power wise
In Canada (2023), renewables make up 66% and nuclear 13% (about 80% together). That's also pretty good.
yeah some countries have that, like sweden and austria. the reason is because they're very mountaineous areas, so there's a lot of water power to harvest. in germany, which is really flat, that would have been impossible with water alone.
Damn, imagine that.
Talk about national security.
only 3.4 M people, little industry
I dont know about this topic spessifically, but the excuses of "but they are rich"/"they have a small population"/"they're a small country" when used against good stuff like this not existing somewhere else almost always seems to be that... Dumb excuses.
Their education system is awesome? Oh well they're only a handful of people.
They have low car usage and walkable/bikeable cities? Oh well their land is just 40,000 km².
They have good social services? Well they're a really rich country.
