Geothermal power

This geothermal power plant in Iceland is producing electricity from hot high pressure steam in the ground.
Zero emissions of greenhouse gases. Iceland is the first country in the world which is planning to stop
use of fossil fuels by 2050, replacing oil, gas and coal with hydro and geothermal energy, and I think with fuel cells for cars.
How cool is THAT?

Just extremely cool - but I have heard Iceland is bankrupt and I wonder how that effects things like this?
Your image is excellent!
