7 Countries that Said 'Adios' to Fossil Fuels & Run 100% on Clean Energy

Fossil fuels are a limited source. They are also major pollutants. Yes, we need them to survive, but we have seen the devastation in the world because of their use. This is why a lot of countries have begun their efforts to say goodbye to fossil fuels and shift to clean energy.

There are a lot of skeptics who think that this should not happen. Fossil fuel is the only source that can cater to the needs of billions of people around the world. They also believe that not supporting the coal industry will leave hundreds upon thousands of people without a job.

However, there were a lot of countries that have decided to just say goodbye to fossil fuels anyway. As they moved towards clean energy, they have proven that it can be done.

For now, most of these countries are inhabited by only a few people. Countries like Costa Rica and Bonaire have successfully eliminated fossil fuel as an energy source, and have gone completely for clean energy.

For skeptics who think this may only happen in small countries, take Denmark. It is a country of over 5 million, but they have succeeded in shifting to natural energy sources. They are so successful that they even have surplus. They sell the extra energy to surrounding countries.

The infographic below shows the other countries that have succeeded in this goal. It only means natural resources must have our support. This is the best way to move forward.
