Danes are proud of their high level of development in their public health, which guarantees health care for all Danish. Denmark is energy self sufficient.

7. Renewable and nonrenewable energies Denmark has large wind energy facilities that provide most of the energy consumed by the country. Denmark is an example, not only in the use of renewable energy but also in the use of technology to achieve a CO2 free world, showing that it is possible to move a developed country with clean energy.

8. Iceland

9. Geography  Iceland is a country located in Northern Europe between the rest of Europe and Greenland. Its territory includes the island of Iceland and some adjacent small islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The interior consists, mainly, of a plateau characterized by deserts, mountains and glaciers, while many big glacial rivers flow to the sea through lowlands. Because of the Gulf Stream it has a climate, temperate for its latitude, that provides an habitable environment.

10. Political situation Iceland maintains diplomatic and commercial relations with practically all nations. As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), it has access to the European Union market, however, Iceland is not a member of this organization. Iceland is divided into eight regions that are used, primarily, for statistical purposes.

11. Economy The economy is vulnerable to declining fish stocks and drops in world prices for its main exports: fish and marine products, aluminum and ferro silicon. In the last decade, Iceland's economy has been trying to diversify into the manufacturing area and service sectors, including software production, biotechnology and financial services.

12. Renewable and non renewable energies The electricity required by the country comes from renewable energy sources, mainly geothermal and hydropower. The rest of the energy used by the Icelanders for transport and navigation 80% comes from renewable sources and only the remaining 20% comes from imported fuels. Iceland has never produced oil or natural gas.

In 2009, more than 50% of the produced energy in Spain was generated by wind mills, and the highest total production record was reached with 11.546 eolic Megawatts
