    Iceland's electricity: 26.5% geothermal, 73.4% hydro, 0.1% fossil fuel

    Sounds like the Icelanders will be the big winners when peak oil and global warming hit.

                          It's extremely cold, boring, and expensive country, the capital looks like a village.
                          The big Alcoa aluminum plant in the north is not really eco-friendly.

                          Just to say that there is no 'perfect place'. I'd prefer the US or an island over Siberia, Northern Canada, Scandinavia, Greenland, Iceland.

                          Move to Siberia if you have the soul of a wildcatter.

                              That's insignificant. If everyone in any one of our states farted we could power iceland with natural gas for months.. LOL

                                              This was based on a non-scientific poll of both the people who currently live there.

If you live, you keep the job and get a green card. None of those damn language lessons or competency tests - you wanna live like a mule, you can work like one.
