Helping Out Some Earth!

The good deeds keep rolling in! And this one even makes economic sense, too!

The First Minister of Scotland (whatever that title means) has just announced that Scotland will produce 100% of its energy needs with renewable resources by 2025 [Thanks, Scientific American]. Snap! That's just 15 years from now!

Admittedly, Scotland is very small with a very small population, so it's definitely easier for them to achieve this goal than, say, the US. But no state in the US says that it's going to go 100% green by 2025 - not even Rhode Island! Clearly, Scotland is leading the way. They even plan on exporting a large portion of their energy to England. How cool is that?

Scotland, you make me proud of my heritage.
