No. Most of Iceland's electricity (75%) comes from hydro and 25% comes from geothermal. All its electricity is renewable. 87% of Iceland's hot water and heating is geothermal. Renewable energy sources meet 81% of Iceland's primary energy requirements for electricity, heat, and transportation. The remaining 19% is oil for transport.

Is it possible for homes to use only renewable energy instead of nonrenewable energy?
Look at homes in Iceland, they are not dependent on nonrenewable sources. Iceland uses geothermal energy and hydropower for its main source of power. It is possible to build a home that is only dependent on renewable energy source however you must take into account the location of the home as certain renewable energies will be in abundance in some locations whilst in other that will not be the case.
Why is Iceland a good place to use hydrothermal?
Geothermal power is a natural resource and can be used anywhere where it occurs. Iceland wasn't chosen to host hydrothermal energy its just a natural source there. Iceland has invested money into research in these fields because it's much cheaper for them to use this energy instead of importing fossil fuel.
What is an advantage of using uranium as an energy source?
- no air pollution - no greenhouse effects - no fossil fuel - the most important alternative source of energy - it is the energy of the future
