Reykjavik Goes Green — Thanks to DS
Posted by Jonina on November 11, 2009 at 3:51pm

Late last month, the Reykjavik City Environment and Transport Council agreed to establish a task force to increase the presence of electric cars and charging stations in Iceland’s capital. Their decision to shift toward an electricity-based model was born out of the 2008 Driving Sustainability Conference in Reykjavik, where pioneers in the movement to achieve environmentally sustainable transportation decided that electricity proved more efficient than hydrogen. The recent 2009 Conference saw continued support for electric energy, along with a new emphasis on liquefied bio-fuels.
As members of the Driving Sustainability organizing committee, Bradley and I are incredibly proud to be part of an organization that is fueling change. Iceland has an immense amount of clean energy resources at its disposal; by increasing access to electric cars, and enabling ships and airplanes to run on bio-fuel, the country could reduce its reliance upon harmful fossil fuels almost entirely. Such an achievement would greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance the national economy, and serve as a model of successful sustainability for countries around the world!
