In Savedland, 40% precent of power is generated by winnd turbines, 25% by solar panels, 20% from water dams, 10% from nuclear power plants and 5% by wade dynamics.

60% of our cars run on hydrogen combustion engiins and 40% on lithium battaries.

As you see we do not rely on oil anymore!



Now, what about you?

[Portugal 2874]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
Usage of renewable energy on each and every place or vehicle.

Are they eco-friendly or not?
All energys are eco-friendly

Are you still dependent on petrol?
We barely use petrol at all, although we have some recently discovered oil sources, we usually export 95% of it.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?
Yes, we have already built 3 and another one is being built.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?
We have adopted methods of extracting Hydrogen (our current and most used energy source) from air and water. hydrogen works almost the same way as petrol, only its cleaner and never runs out. Hydrogen is used in every vehicle in our nation, it includes cars, airplanes, military vehicles, bikes, trains, etc

[Urmanian]

What methods do you use to power you nation?

In pony-inhabited areas:

~80% magic
~20% solar

In human reservations:

~40% wind power
~40% water power
~20% solar power

Are they eco-friendly or not?

Yes.

Are you still dependent on petrol?

Not anymore; ponies don't use anything oil-powered.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?

No, we don't, all human nuclear plants were shut down.

If not why?

It's dangerous to the ecology and not really necessary.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?

Unicorn magic.

[Chardonnier]

In Chardonnier the National Grid is supplied mainly through nuclear power, it provides around 70% of out power needs. The other 30% is supplied mainly by tidal power but we have a small amount of hydro-electric too.

In terms of cars we use hydrogen, but not as a combustion engine. Instead we have hydrogen fuel cells which power electric batteries. We were one of the first nations in Europe to invest in a full-scale hydrogen fuel infrastructure.

[Central Panamambia]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
40% hydroelectric
30% nuclear
22% wind turbines
8% geothermal

Are they eco-friendly or not?
Mostly, there's been some complaints about the effects dams and tidale turbines have on local fish populations, but we've assumed the concerned parties that we do everything possible to preserve the ecosystem and Central Panamambia's natural beauty.

Are you still dependent on petrol?
If you are still dependent on oil are you trying do find more eco-friendly solutions?
Somewhat. Our public transportation systems have gone over a complete over-haul and switched to the hydrogen fuel cell, while personal automobiles are a bit slower on the transition. Nevertheless, we predict that Central Panamambia will be oil free in a few short years.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?
Yes.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?
If tidal hydroelectric turbines and off-shore wind turbines count, then yes.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which? Nuclear Fusion we were the first to develop it successfully, there is also possible unlimited but threatening energy from experimental black hole generators.

[New Lusitaniagrad]

Mostly nuclear powerplants, and petrol.

[Lomenore]

What methods do you use to power you nation?

Nuclear fusion, Solar Power, Tidal power, and Geothermal power.

Are they eco-friendly or not?

Increasingly it is, but a lot of Lomenore's industry is still polluting the environment more then we'd like. We can make thermal boreholes to have geothermal power anywhere we like, but that plays major havoc with the climate around the borehole.

Are you still dependent on petrol?

Most of Lomenore's motor vehicles still use petrol. We have the technology for synthetic fossil fuels.

If you are still dependent on oil are you trying do find more eco-friendly solutions?

Yes; Fusion powered vehicles are being mass produced, even though they're still expensive and rare.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?

Yes

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?
Well, dark energy, anyone?

[Maroza]

What methods do you use to power you nation? Nuclear 60%, Coal 12%, Hyro 10%, Wind 10%, Solar 6%, thermal 2%
Are they eco-friendly or not? Yes and No. Nuclear waste is recycled, unfortunately doing so produces plutonium. (Which is why most countries don't do it in RL)
Are you still dependent on petrol? No
Do you accept nuclear power as an option? Yes 60% of our power is produced from nuclear plants

[Conscentia]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
42% Nuclear Fission*; 25% Hydroelectric; 11% Solar Power; 7% Nuclear Fusion*; 6% Wind Power; 5% Biomass; 4% Hydrogen Power
(*With more being built, We plan to lower nuclear fission use to 24% or less and increase Nuclear Fusion use to 25% by 2040. In order to make the prospect of lowering the use of nuclear fission more realistic we plan to increase the use of Hydrogen power.)

Are they eco-friendly or not?
All are eco-friendly...as long as nuclear waste don't contaminate anything.

Are you still dependent on petrol?
Nope.

If you are still dependent on oil are you trying do find more eco-friendly solutions?

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?
Of-coarse...it makes up 49% of our energy production.

If not why?

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?
We can extract hydrogen from water, an use it for Hydrogen Power...if that counts as special or unique.

Extra Information
All Energy production is nationalised. This is the only way that we can provide every with free energy, and was one of the reasons why we succeeded in completely replacing fossil fuels as a source of power.
The state fits all occupied buildings with solar panels, turning cities into solar farms. Solar panels no only provide power but can provide emergency power in the event of a power cut.
Our national grid is a "smart grid". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grid

[Monteblanc]

We're mostly dependent on nuclear power, but also have some wind, hydroelectric,solar, and biomass-derived power. They are for the most part not terribly devastating to the environment.

For transportation we are still dependent on petroleum products. We are trying to develop more domestic electricity sources so that we can replace petrol-fueled cars with electric cars.

[Ynluvovadaraynbo]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
Fusion, wind, geothermal, wave, tide, solar.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?
Yes, fusion power is our single largest source of energy.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?
Not particularly.

[Gutia]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
Water, wave, wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear.
Are they eco-friendly or not?
Most of them are yes, only nuclear is the one who is not that eco-friendly.
Are you still dependent on petrol?
Our Armed Forces use petrol in their vehicles and some civilian cars too.

[Costa Fiero]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
We use natural gas, hydro dams and nuclear plants for electricity generation. Farmers in more remote communities use ethanol or diesel powered generators.

Are they eco-friendly or not?
The vast majority are considered environmentally friendly.

Are you still dependent on petrol?
Quite. Although, 20% of vehicles are now powered by ethanol.

If you are still dependent on oil are you trying do find more eco-friendly solutions?
We are finding solutions in other thermal energy sources. So far, ethanol and other biodiesels seem to be a short term, cost cutting solution. However, other gases such as methane and natural gas are being considered as more environmentally friendly than common oil.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?
Yes we do. Costa Fiero already has two nuclear power stations and another one under construction.

[TFO Faroe Islands]

What methods do you use to power you nation?
Biofuels- (for powering machines)
Whale Oil,
Biobutanol,
and
Ethanol,

Non-bio- (for providing our electricity)
Nuclear,
Wind,
Solar,
and
Tidal

Are they eco-friendly or not?
Yes. unless you count how we obtain them

Are you still dependent on petrol?
No, it is actually outlawed

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?
Yes, it makes up 60% of our electrical energy (along with wind being 15%, solar being 15%, and tidal power being 10%)

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?
Whaling. We go out and kill whales to get their oil.

Greenpeace and PETA hate us (luckily our military is there to stop the fanatics).

[Red Tide2]

What methods do you use to power you nation?

The top three methods for generating electricity on a large scale are nuclear, natural gas, and hydroelectric, in that order.

Are they eco-friendly or not?

Comparatively speaking, yes. Nuclear power plants and electric dams are obviously pollutant free, although the latter may cause damage to river fauna. Natural gas releases some pollutants, but less then coal and oil plants.

Are you still dependent on petrol?

Crude oil (and its products) are the most valuable resources that Red Tide still needs to import. It is, however, a net-exporter of natural gas.

Oil and its products are predominantly used for its industrial applications (such as the production of plastics) and production of transportation fuel (mainly diesel and gasoline). Red Tide keeps its import selection as diverse as possible so no individual nation or group of nations can cut off its flow through embargo's.

If you are still dependent on oil are you trying do find more eco-friendly solutions?

No. Oil is still quite economical for the Red Tidean nation, as is natural gas and coal.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?

As mentioned previously, it is the number one means of generating electricity. Red Tide operates 4th Generation Nuclear Fission Reactors, whose by-products are almost completely useful (IE: they can be put back into the reactor as fuel) and is theoretically impossible to melt down. The plutonium produced by these plants is also easily refined into weapons-grade material and thus provides extensive amounts of Pu-239 for Red Tide's manufacture of nuclear warheads.

Red Tide has also invested in all possible forms of nuclear fusion power research, for obvious reasons.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?

An research program is under way in the extreme northern part of the country which involves the use of extremely efficient heaters and freezers in a innovative way. First the heaters are used to rapidly melt large quantities of ice, which is then pumped down past turbines which is turned by the water to create electricity, very much like in a hydro-electric plant. The water is then pumped into the freezers, located horizontally from the heaters, where it is frozen back into ice and then conveyed back over to the heating part of the facility. During the winter, it is actually unnecessary to use the freezers, due to the extreme cold experienced that far north.

Obviously, the experiment depends much on high-powered heaters and freezers with low-energy consumption. So far the project has failed to break-even, although the government hopes that continued advances in heating and freezing technology may one day make it feasible.

[Stolitland]

What methods do you use to power you nation?

Nuclear power plants and coal fired power plants produce over 99 percent of Stolitland's energy.

Are they eco-friendly or not?

Nuclear, yes. Coal, not so much.

Are you still dependent on petrol?

Yes.

If you are still dependent on oil are you trying do find more eco-friendly solutions?

We're doing our best, albeit for cost and not the environment.

Do you accept nuclear power as an option?

Of course.

Any special and/or unique ways of producing energy? Which?

It has become increasingly fashionable for Stolitlanders who want to exercise to use treadmills and stationary bicycles which are hooked to marine batteries to partially power their home. This helps to reduce energy costs and health costs.
