government could step in and give subsidies for this goal, assuming it were serious about decreasing GHG emissions.
that and government should actually step in firmer: laws for regulating companies to much limit ghg emissions. basically

but companies' lobby for maintaining status quo, for max profit is strong...

that is pretty cool thanks!
with a few exceptions west looking pretty bad btw. guess the remaining non-data countries are either as bad or good if they rely on hydro
uruguay interesting for relying mostly on wind just like North-East Brazil region, and chile on solar.
