Fun Fact: Since 2006-2007 Uruguay’s power infrastructure has mostly relied on green energy, making up over 90% of their power infrastructure, also making them fully self sustaining power wise

In Canada (2023), renewables make up 66% and nuclear makes up 13% (about 80% together). That's also pretty good.

yeah some countries have that, like sweden and austria. the reason is because they're very mountaineous areas, so there's a lot of water power to harvest. in germany, which is really flat, that would have been impossible with water alone.

fully self sustaining power wise

Talk about national security.
