The Independent: Sweden phases out fossil fuels in attempt to run completely off renewable energy

In 2015, Sweden's prime minister announced his country will work towards becoming "one of the first fossil fuel-free welfare states of the world," in a speech to the UN General Assembly.

Between 2013 and 2014, 51.1 per cent of Sweden's energy needs were met by renewables, according to data from Eurostat and the Renewable Energy Directive. [...]

Latvia was the second most green country, with a RES of 37 per cent, followed by Finland, which had a RES of 36.8 per cent and Austria, with an RES of 32.9 per cent.
