Ramón Mendez Galain is the man most responsible for Uruguay being the first country to consistently utilize over 90% renewable energy. He discusses how he ended up in that roll, the choices he made to succeed, and his determination to bring the same success to other nations, all a part of the interview with David Roberts on Volts.

Uruguay regularly gets to 98%, weather permitting. He believes most places are capable of that, and ALL places are capable of 80. Im inclined to agree. Mind you, Uruguay is not a rich country. But they are saving tons of money by cutting down their oil rents
