Re: “,” May 15 Ved Nanda column.
Ved Nanda writes that Costa Rica is close to “achieving 100 percent renewable power.” How can a country with 850,000 cars and trucks, nearly all powered by gasoline or diesel fuel, be even close to that? Of course, he meant to say “electricity,” not “power.”
And I might add, I live in Costa Rica about half of the year. Electricity that I use in my Costa Rica condo costs about 28 cents per kilowatt-hour. At my home in Denver, it is about 13 cents. About 83 percent Colorado’s electricity is generated by coal and natural gas.
