Reply to comment by ajmmsr in Electric world that kicks out fossil fuels will cost less than combustion economy. 30TW of wind and solar PV will take 0.2% of earth's surface. by DisasterousGiraffe

south australia is somewhere around 15-25% renewables from what i can see

iceland is 25% geothermal 75% hydro

paraguay is 99.8% hydro and 0.2% biofuel which is honestly incredible, they use like 3x as much power as iceland

also apparently albania and the DRC are 100% hydro but that seems odd

Interesting, I wonder if they have always been like that or made the switch

More like 70% (slightly under that), source. 25% (well, 29% as of 2021) is closer to the figure for the whole of Australia.
