Forbes: Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World — https://www.forbes.com/sites/kensilverstein/2025/10/19/uruguays-renewable-charge-a-small-nation-a-big-lesson-for-the-world/

A key takeaway: #Hydro and #Wind provide 80%, #Biomass 15%. 1-3% is from flexible thermal (fossil fuel powered,) with the balance being #Solar.

#Uruguay's #EnergyTransition shows there is a #ThirdWay, producing effectively all their energy with renewables and without high tech #StorageBatteries. They do not rely on #silicon solar, either.

It added 50,000 jobs, in a nation of 3.5 million.

An assumption we long had in Earth Sci was that, in the geological past, more diversity meant more life in general. Someone finally got around to checking that, and it works! #Biomass patterns follow the #biodiversity curve.
