I spent the first half of this week reporting in Iceland, and I came away convinced that the country provides a window into our collective future in at least three important ways.
Iceland uses remarkably few fossil fuels to power its economy and heat its homes.
Instead, 85 percent of the country’s energy comes from domestically produced renewables, primarily geothermal power and hydropower.
Iceland can claim such a high percentage of renewables, the most of any country in the world, thanks to its unique geology.
Just this morning, an active volcano began erupting in a town I visited only a few days ago.
