Forbes: Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World — https://www.forbes.com/sites/kensilverstein/2025/10/19/uruguays-renewable-charge-a-small-nation-a-big-lesson-for-the-world/
A key takeaway: #Hydro and #Wind provide 80%, #Biomass 15%. 1-3% is from flexible thermal (fossil fuel powered,) with the balance being #Solar.
#Uruguay's #EnergyTransition shows there is a #ThirdWay, producing effectively all their energy with renewables and without high tech #StorageBatteries. They do not rely on #silicon solar, either.
It added 50,000 jobs, in a nation of 3.5 million.
