It’s no secret that Marlow Gish is a fierce proponent of innovation. In fact, he has built a career on his commitment to tapping into cutting edge technologies and approaches, as they develop. So it comes as no surprise that Gish is also a strong supporter of sustainability through the development of renewable energy.
Business leader and environmental impact advocate, Marlow Gish discusses the top 5 countries leading the push for worldwide renewable energy and sustainability:
In 2011, Scotland’s government set an ambitious goal for 2020. That goal was to reach 100% clean electricity consumption, across the country. Nearly reaching their goal, Scotland clocked in 97% electricity from renewable, clean energy sources. But did you know that the Scots aren’t the only ones to set and achieve incredible renewable energy goals? Here are the top 5 countries leading the race to nationwide use of clean energy:
- Sweden
In 2015, Sweden proposed an incredibly ambitious goal to eliminate the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation by 2040. Although this goal is specific to energy usage in Sweden, the Swedes are opening the challenge up to the rest of the world. Individuals who keep pace with environmental issues and solutions, like Marlow Gish, have predicted that Sweden may even be the first country to strictly use 100% renewable energy.
- Costa Rica
95% of Costa Rica’s energy is produced by means of hydro, geothermal, solar and wind strategies. The country’s next goal is to become entirely carbon neutral by 2022.
- Nicaragua
Nicaragua is currently aiming for a 90% usage rate of renewable energy across the entire country in 2022.
- Scotland
Wind power generates almost 100% of Scotland’s energy. Talk about mind blowing! The country is also home to the world’s largest floating wind farm, which is still in development.
- Germany
In 2018, Germany’s renewable energy sources generated enough electricity to power each and every house across the country for an entire year. Now, they’ve set a goal to ensure that 65% of their electricity will come from renewable sources by 2030.
