Not true, but it is confusing:
True, "Iceland is" not "the only place where all power comes from geothermal."
True, (see above) all of its grid electricity comes from renewables.
So:
True, "Iceland is the only place where all electrical grid power comes from"geothermalrenewables.
So:
True, "85% of the total primary energy supply in Iceland is" renewables.
True, "Most of Iceland's renewables" arehydrogeothermal.
True, energy may be supplied as electricity or thermally. Directly through steam, water, or air. Indirectly through heat exchange of any sort.
Recapping the main point just to be crystal, in 2016 anyway:
15% of "primary energy supply in Iceland" came from fossil fuels. Out of 85% left "the share of hydropower was 20%" while "Geothermal energy provided about 65%".
As long as you define “ fine” as incorrect. Iceland uses hydropower to produce MOST of its electricity.I have no argument "with Iceland" and what I said was fine.
Quote me saying otherwise. "Renewables" means energy such as heat (thermal), not just "electricity."As long as you define “ fine” as incorrect. Iceland uses hydropower to produce MOST of its electricity.
There are 6 basic forms of energy:
- Mechanical energy
- Chemical energy
- Thermal or heat energy
- Electrical energy
- Nuclear energy
- Radiation
Unlike the annual $10 billion or so fossil fuels have been receiving for decades.
You’re funny…..stupid, but funny. Let’s see, according you Humpers, it’s a fraud, now it’s a trend. So, according to you, everyone is investing in renewables, not because they work, but because it’s a trend. What a dip shit.
Don’t be ridiculous..of course they do. They have for a long time. You can’t even look it up ? They get direct subsidies ( payments) and indirect in the form of tax breaks….they are still called subsidies. Dumbo, the state and feds also subsidize EVs made in America in the form of tax breaks. They are still call subsidies…dah.
You need to actually read the article. They're talking worldwide and not just including explicit subsidies but tax breaks and the costs of environmental damage.
It’s OK.Quote me saying otherwise. "Renewables" means energy such as heat (thermal), not just "electricity."

You’ve been adamant about geothermal providing MOST of the renewables energy. It doesn’t .Quote me saying otherwise. "Renewables" means energy such as heat (thermal), not just "electricity."
