Is it Iceland or Greenland that has energy independence? That gives them some economic power.

I'd like to visit there someday, that is if the US doesn't stop allowing people to visit there like Cuba.

We still have no gasoline though and the cars/boats/planes are not electric. We have a lot of free energy in regards to heating, hot water and electricity only. Nor can we easily export that energy without large advances in the field of superconductors being so far from mainland Europe.

Don't you have hydrogen "gas" stations?

Wikipedia says they are aiming for 2050 energy independence.

That would be incredible.

Well its not like there are many vehicles that support the fuel. As far as I'm aware there are only two electric "pumps" available in the entire country. We're still very much based on the technology of gasoline. 2050 perhaps, but its still a long way off.

Wasn't there a plan to send some of that energy through a cable towards Scotland?

It's Iceland, Greenland is ruled by Denmark

valugi is dead.
