It also doesn't do as good of a job as this Guardian article: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/30/truth-b...

at pointing out that this is a temporary blip caused by record rainfall following a record drought.

Worth noting that this is a "comment is free" article, which is basically the Guardian's sanctioned area for trolling their right-on readership.

"Green energy is only possible for tiny countries that suffer from global warming and even then not really" is a fine bit of trolling and I salute the author's skill in this game.

(I'm still waiting for the W3C spec and full browser support that will allow me to comment on just any url.)

The W3C has Annotea, but they never got widespread browser support. I know I actually downloaded Amaya at one point, presumably in hopes of trying Annotea.

You got it all :)

I couldn't find the original article so linked the one I found quickly.

But here[1], this article is quite well with enough info and pitches in a few more things than just Costa Rica.

Fossil fuel for electricity. Transport is a comparable energy consumer and overwhelmingly fossil fuel based. In cooler climates the same is true for space heating.
