The secret? They framed it as economic opportunity, not climate doom. With public ownership ensuring access for all, they built a model that works for people AND the planet.

@brichapman according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_Uruguay 29% of Uruguay electricity comes from hydro plants (and it seems that just one of them - Salto Grande - amounts to about 20%). Not every country is so lucky as to be able to build large dams…
