Is Portugal a good place for wind energy? It seems like it should be with a long coastline that faces west from Europe.
I can't wait for the day when places that have renewable energy advantages become net exporters, supplying renewable power to the rest of the world.
Yep! Maybe not the best overall in Europe, but we do have some strong winds and also very sunny days so solar energy is also easy to come by.
In one of our archipelagos (Azores) we also have geothermal power plants since we have active vulcanos there.
Aditionally I think there were some major developments in harnessing the ocean's waves so on that front, I think we would absolutely crush it.
That's awesome. I wonder if the mountains would also make pumped hydroelectric possible too, so Portugal could use a clean method of storing power for when the wind was calm and the sun wasn't shining.
Hopefully one day :)
