CLIMATE CHANGE’S EFFECTS ON RENEWABLE ENERGY IN ICELAND
Iceland’s energy comes almost completely from renewable resources, with 76% of it being hydroelectric energy, and the remainder being geothermal energy and wind power (Landsvirkjun, 2018). For several months we conducted secondary-source research on Iceland's renewable energy resources, and the...
