Renewable Energy in Iceland Iceland uses more power per head than any other country in the world, primarily because of its fishing and heavy industry. Over the next 20-30 years Iceland plan to use geothermal electricity to split hydrogen from water, and then to use hydrogen fuel cells to power its vehicles and fishing trawlers. This would make Iceland energy self-sufficient and 100% powered by renewable energy.

4,156 Both American and British renewable energy companies have failed when policymakers decrease subsidies. Most wind and solar installations are not cost-effective on the open market, necessitating a never-ending cycle of subsidies. Without the crutch of guaranteed profit from the government, renewable energy industries will have to innovate so that renewables are reliable, efficient and cost-effective. As long as subsidies exist, taxpayers have to support industries that aren't economically viable on their own.
