Top 3 Countries that run on almost 100% Renewable energy

Iceland

Iceland is the only country in the world that uses 100% renewable energy for its electricity. Most of their power comes from hydroelectricity and geothermal. Hydroelectricity uses the force of water from rivers, glaciers, and waterfalls to harness energy. This sector provides about 70% of Iceland's energy. The other 30% comes from geothermal, a method that uses underground heat to create energy. This is especially effective for Iceland because it have so many volcanoes.

Norway

Similar to Iceland, Norway's power source uses 98-99% renewable energy. Almost all of its energy comes from Hydroelectricity. Norway is covered with mountains, rivers, and waterfalls making it perfect for building dams. It have over 1600 dams throughout the country which provide more energy than they need. It exports the excess energy to other European countries.

Costa Rica

Unlike Iceland and Norway, Costa Rica has a variety of renewable energy sources. Costa Rica runs on 98% renewable energy. 70% comes from hydropower, 10-20% from geothermal and around 8% from wind. This is possible because of the landscapes diversity of mountain ranges, rivers and waterfalls, as well as the country's government policies.

Deven's Reflections:

These countries show that it's possible to run almost entirely on renewable energy. Iceland and Norway take advantage of their natural landscapes and it works extremely well. Costa Rica also uses its landscape, but also gets a large percentage of its energy from wind displaying an innovative solution. If more countries start investing in and putting more effort into renewables instead of relying on oil and natural gas, we would see a huge impact. It may not seem necessary to focus on alternative energy sources, but there will come a day when natural resources become scarce. It's a problem that we can avoid if we make an effort to.
