Costa Rica ran on 100 percent renewable energy for 76 straight days between June
and August this year, according to a new report,
demonstrating that life without fossil fuels is
possible - for small countries, at least.
For the second year in a row the small community of
Costa Rica (pop. 4.9m) managed to generate all of
its electricity needs through hydropower (~80
percent), geothermal (~13 percent), wind (~7
percent) and solar (<1 percent) for 76 straight
days, bringing its 2016 total number of
all-renewable days to 150. Click the link below to
