70% of New Zealand's electricity is now produced by renewable energy.
Hydro, wind, geothermal and we are about to start a pilot undersea turbine programme.
We're down to 1 coal fueled powerstation and a few gas fueled ones.
It is possible to go renewable.
Here's the rub. The govt has just approved Petrobras to survey offshore with a view to start some deep-sea wells that will be 3x deeper than Gulf of Mexico.
I say if the world moved towards using all clean energy, and cities having more mass transport systems, we wouldent need too drill off shore. Then disasters like oil spills wouldent happen.

Fossil free electric cars? Yes, if the electricity is produced in a nuclear reactor. Otherwise, it is most likely produced by burning coal.

electic cars are not fossil free since a majority of our power comes from coal fire plants
