Costa Rica by far is the most happy nation according to Gallup Institute research. Australia is 7th, which is not bad, but it is reaching the same goal in much higher financial and environmental costs.
And Costa Rica is 24th in Life Expectancy (78,5 yrs), there is not a big difference with Australia.

Its a great goal and I hope Costa Rica will reach it. And I believe those efforts will pay off soon, when you read about rising prices for ressources like oil and gas and especially the addiction of political unstable regions of the world.

Chuck send me an e-mail and will be my pleasure to send you the energy law in CR. the process of installing a Eolic production in CR is not that easy, but will change dramatically in the next to years. We have to capacity to guide you trough the process. But let’s start with the actual law first.

The problem with Hydro-electricity is a reduction in rain fall produces a reduction in electricity production. The problem with wind turbines is variations in ambient wind and an ugly structure for a pristine Paradise, maybe we can cammofladge it? The trouble with household and agriculture biomass is the landfills are reaching maximum volumes and burning raw materials produces multiple air pollutants, we have addressed that too. A mix of the three systems can result in a positive reduction of all air pollutants and a reduction in utility costs nation wide!!

The article title is not a lie. When it says powered it refers to electricity only. Not ground/air transportation.

Yeah more hydro, and it doesn’t need to be all large scale. Several small scale projects could produce electricity. Without a huge change in one landscape. Ponds or small lakes for fish and wildlife, swimming and recreation. First country with a clean excess supply of power wins. Nicaragua is catching up fast with its wind turbine fields. Geothermal seems like it could also be the key, if it has no great adverse effects. Pura Vida!!
