One Hot Island: Iceland's Renewable Geothermal Power

Clean energy boom
Today, 99 percent of Iceland's electricity is produced from renewable sources, 30 percent of which is geothermal (the rest is from dams—and there are a lot of them), according to Iceland's National Energy Authority. When transportation, heating and production of electricity are considered as a whole, geothermal provides half of all the primary energy used in Iceland. (Although there are efforts underway to use the island's supplies of renewable energy to power its fishing fleet and motor vehicles through conversion to hydrogen fuel, these efforts are still at the earliest stages of development.)

There may be a different solution for different areas.
Nearly half the world's population lives near coastal areas, and most of the world’s megacities are located in the coastal zones.
I think the answer to future energy production is in the oceans and tides of the world.
