It does not pollute and is cheap.

Renewable energy sources meet 81% of Iceland's primary energy requirements for electricity, heat, and transportation. The remaining 19% is oil for transport.
66% of the energy used by iceland is domestic geothermal energy.
Geothermal Energy
Hot water from the ground.
The majority of alternative energy sources were put in place by Mannvit Engineering. Currently the most common sources of alternative energy in Iceland are geothermal energy and hydroelectric energy. Mannvit is still exploring other alternative energy sources to be implemented throughout Iceland and the rest of the world.
Because Iceland is located on a hot-spot.

Mostly geothermal.
Yes,during the course of the 20th century, Iceland went from what was one of Europe's poorest countries, dependent upon peat and imported coal for its energy, to a country with a high standard of living where practically all stationary energy is derived from renewable resources. In 2009, roughly 84% of primary energy use in Iceland came from indigenous renewable resources. Today geothermal sources account for 66% of Iceland's primary energy use. From the earliest of times, geothermal energy has been used for bathing and washing.Today Iceland's eletricity is almost completely based on Geothermal energy.
