Green Countries

A recent article was posted on ZDNet about some of the "greenest" countries in the world at the moment, and what their ambitions are for the future in terms of green energy production. Currently, two of the most ambitious energy projects in production are located across the globe from one another, with Portugal being home to one. Interestingly enough, as of 2005, Sweden seems to have the renewable energy edge as far as Europe goes.

According to the article, in 2005 Sweden was using renewable energy sources for nearly 40 percent of its energy production, with a targeted goal of 49 percent by 2020. In addition, Latvia is relying on green sources for nearly 35 percent of its energy, with a goal of 42 percent by 2020.

The article also goes on to talk about New Zealand's oceanic energy project, where seabed turbines rely on tidal flow to produce electricity. It certainly makes you wonder what kind of exciting projects we'll see from the rest of the global community. If you're interested in the future of renewable energy, read more about these projects at ZDNet.
