Impressive, go Portugal!

I was super pumped to read this, in March Portugal generated enough green energy to cover its energy needs.

Energy from renewable sources made up 103.6 per cent of mainland electricity consumption last month, according to data from the country’s power grid operator REN, although fossil fuels were used to occasionally top up the electricity supply.

I know not every country is not as fortunate to have abundant renewable energy available but realistically speaking, every country should shift as much energy production onto renewables as possible.  It just makes sense, once you lay down the infrastructure the energy is essentially free.
