Icceland does a lot with geothermal power. The hotel I stayed in in Reykjavik was entirely heated by geothermal. And all the hot water for the laundry was heated by the volcanos under Iceland. The towels and sheets were always nice and clean, and the shower never ran out of hot water. (I had a miserable time in Iceland. People are often hostile to tourists. And I had gone in order to see the Aurora Borealis, but the three days we were there were overcast and rainy. When we went home, ours was the last plane to land at JFK airport because that weather over Iceland had created a blizzard over the NY area. I had to find my car in long-term parking and drive back to New Jersey, through the city itself, in heavy snow.
