Sustainable energy
While no country has achieved a truly sustainable society, Iceland is the closest to getting there. Currently, 75% of Iceland's total energy consumption is derived from hydro and geothermal sources, making it the cleanest energy consumer in the world. Fast-flowing rivers and volcanic hotspots provide power, heat, and fuel to Icelanders while innovative new technologies are being developed to help other countries. Today, Iceland is making important advances in hydrogen power, while methane-fueled garbage trucks clean the streets of Reykjavík.
With global concerns about climate change, world leaders of government and business are looking to Iceland's progressive example of low-impact living and independence from fossil fuels. Some energy-intensive industries have already relocated to Iceland in order to reduce cost and pollution. When it comes to clean and sustainable energy, the rest of the world is learning from Iceland.
