Renewable Energy in Costa Rica : ウィキペディア英語版 | Renewable Energy in Costa Rica
Renewable Energy in Costa Rica accounts for an average of 90% of the energy output for the entire nation.〔 As of 2014, 99% of its electrical energy was derived from renewable energy sources, about 80% of which from hydroelectric power. As a country, Costa Rica has a geographic advantage over others in that its high concentration per capita of rivers, dams, and volcanoes allow for a high renewable energy output. In addition, Costa Rica is the fourth highest nation in terms of rainfall per capita: it receives an average of 2,926mm of precipitation per year. As a smaller nation with a population of only 5 million and no major industry, the need for strong energy infrastructure is less than for larger countries of higher population density. The 1948 elimination of the military of Costa Rica also allows that the government does not need to spend millions of dollars on the defense budget and instead invests in social programs and renewable energy generation. As president of Costa Rica in 1948, José Figueres announced that the nation's former military budget would be refocused specifically in healthcare, education, and environmental protection. While Costa Rica's largest source of energy is hydroelectricity, other sources include geothermal energy, biomass, solar power, and wind power.〔 ==Sources of Renewable Energy==
