@AscendedSaiyan3 my point here isn't to find reasons to "not count" places, I don't even have time to look over the full dataset provided by the website. It's just that not all of those cities are known industry powerhouses, and those cities in Iceland and Brazil... I'm sure that Iceland gets a boost from geothermal and Brazil from ethanol. I'm not interested in saying that those cities don't count, my problem is my doubts that those situations can be replicated elsewhere or if the energy levels are enough to sustain industry in the countryside.

@the33rdguy "both are very new technologie" - they actually predate our current nuclear designs but didn't get researched because the reactors we have now can be used to breed weapons grade material. Nuclear warfare delayed the technology.

@AscendedSaiyan3 "There are places living on 100% renewable energy" - name a few and what their major industries are.

@AscendedSaiyan3 it's easy to run on 100% renewables when you don't have to power anything that consumes real power. That's my point. You can't overuse hydro because of the damage to the hydrography/ecosystem, you can't overuse wind as it whacks birds to death and does take energy from the wind which means areas downwind will suffer unusual climate as they get less wind. Solar's great for deserted areas between the tropics because of the better sunlight and the fact that you're building on less habitable land. But looking at previously green hills covered with the dull blue and grey of solar panels is depressing.

@AscendedSaiyan3 " That is the WORST argument in the world. You are using an argument that makes zero sense." - How? If a city is 100% green energy but only consumes (pulling the number out of my ass) 100 MW, how does that mean you'll be able to power an industrial sector that consumes 1000 MW? "The U.K. AND Germany have already reached that point" - false, Germany is dependent on brown coal.

@AscendedSaiyan3 "It's not like highly explosive jet fuel is kept in a gigantic metal tank (that spans the wings) called a fuselage or anything!" - the fuselage is made out of composites and aluminum. The actual fuel tanks are lightweight. Hydrogen requires a heavy duty tank to be pressurized in, plus insulation.

@AscendedSaiyan3 the aluminum is THIN skin. Hydrogen requires THICK pressure tanks. "Also, do you believe these commercial plane fuselages aren't pressurized? Think about it." - THEY ARE PRESSURIZED AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, HYDROGEN TANKS REQUIRE PRESSURE TO TURN HYDROGEN GAS INTO LIQUID
