Iceland is driven by hydro and geothermal.

Iceland is driven by hydro and geothermal. You see a Nissan Leaf at almost every traffic light. While both hydro and geothermal are NOT 100% eco-neutral, they are far better than burning dinos. When my electricity bill comes thou, I get informed that several percent of my electricity is nuclear powered (there are no nuclear power plants in Iceland). It's due to my utility selling credits so some polluter can have a little cleaner conscience. I hate that. So does everyone else in Iceland. The UK might be buying the credits, I don't really know who buys them.
