In the 1970s "Reykjavík built a large-scale geothermal district heating system. Other towns in Iceland followed, many switching within a decade.
“This took unwavering political support. Financial support mechanisms that helped ordinary households make the switch without ruinous upfront costs,” Frostadóttir said.
Now, nearly every home in Iceland is heated with renewable energy, and more than 90% of it is geothermal."

@CelloMomOnCars@mastodon.social I'm going to completely ignore the content of this article to point out that Kristrún Frostadóttir is the most grim viking name ever. Frost-daughter, like goddamn man. If she has three sisters, I assume they are on a rowing team, a sea witch, and a touring drummer for Satyricon, respectively. Her family were probably disappointed she got into politics instead of burning churches.
