Costa Rica isn't the f@cking United States...it's a 3rd world SMALL country with no appreciable manufacturing sitting close to the Equator.
They IMPORT just about everything...someone else used energy to create it. IF they had to manufacture everything they use...they couldn't do it. Oil isn't used much for power production...it's much too valuable...NG and coal are the biggies for electricity production.
Apples and oranges again. Let me compare electrical demand for MY house compared to the Pentagon. Let me exaggerate like you are.
SMALL scale...just about ANYTHING can work. LARGE scale...not much works.
Fossil fuels drive the world...like it or not...there is NO replacement short of a "Mr Fusion".
Are those words small enough for you?
