All I’ve been trying to say is that energy comes from a furnace. Over the centuries it has been stored in all sorts of forms. We as people don’t have to capture the ‘live’ sun’s energy in real-time to be green.

Even wind power comes from the weather and temperature changes, coming from the sun’s planet daytime warming and nighttime cooling.

Let me correct myself before some other Freeper does:

“Five major geothermal power plants exist in Iceland, which produce approximately 26.2% (2010)[2] of the nation’s electricity. In addition, geothermal heating meets the heating and hot water requirements of approximately 87% of all buildings in Iceland. Apart from geothermal energy, 73.8% of the nation’s electricity is generated by hydro power,[2] and 0.1% from fossil fuels.”

So, Iceland’s electricity comes from hydroelectric and geothermal.
