Interesting thatIcelanddon't get ALL their own energy from geothermal
sources yet and yet they're hoping to export buckets of it.

Not saying that it's not there for the taking but it just seems odd that
they're not using 100% renewable power already.

All the electricity and water (for heating) is renewable, the oil/
petrol for the fishing fleet and the cars is not.
