Russia’s energy resources are enormous and Europe’s dependence on them is deep and pervasive. But Russia’s importance as an exporter of natural resources goes far beyond hydrocarbons. The continent was mostly powered by locally mined coal until the 1950s, when imports of cheap Middle Eastern oil started transforming the energy picture.

It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal. Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019.

One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.

Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal. In California, 20% of our electricity comes from zero CO2 renewables (sun, wind, geothermal), another 20% from zero CO2 hydro, and only 20.1%

Wind, hydro, DC transmission lines, and smart grid electronics are also Portland strengths.
