There is a debate about sustainable energy in Iceland. For example the dam project which will create and artificial lake and at the same time submerge an area of natural significance. In this context geothermal developments are perhaps less discruptive or intrusive. Also - the scientists have been drilling into the Reykjanes Ridge (active volcano) for research purposes.
Small suggestion - in all countries where there are airports the practice is for the street lights to be on 24 hours in the roads providing access. So it seems strange to claim the 24 hour lighting as an aspect of being developed. Maybe the point is that most public lighting is from geothermal sources. Lmnt 15:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Much of the electricity for the lights between Keflavík and Reykjavík is generated by the Svartsengi power-plant, however that is probably not the reason they exist or are on 24/7. I'm removing that sentence, it's off topic --Sindri 09:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
"In the year 2004, 53.4 % of the primary energy supply in Iceland came from geothermal energy, 29.4 % from oil and coal and 17.2 % from hydro power" Those figures represent consumption, not energy "supply". I think a summary of the sources of energy generation would be more useful so I will get official stats of 2004 to replace this. hr_oskar 11:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
