Yes. Iceland uses more electricity per person than any other country in the world. Because of the availability of enormous amounts of hydroelectric and geothermal power, electricity costs less than half of what it does elsewhere in the world--and it's clean! That allows Iceland to attract energy-intensive industries, like aluminum production. It also means that electric and hydrogen powered vehicles can be cost-effective in Iceland.
