From renewables.

Yes they are small
But they are poor too. They prioritized spending to put themselves there. Well done folks....

Excuses can be made for nations that used to be called Third World. (Forgive, me but I am up to date on what the current euphemism is.) The same is not the case for First World nations, who are - supposedly - advanced. While it is convenient to blame politcians for failing to implement laws and programs that are sufficiently robust, I point my finger at the electorate who stubbornly refuse to vote for the few individuals and parties who could make a difference. Unfortunately, those who see the need are outnumbered by the ill-informed, the selfish, the shortsighted and the stupid, the latter being the only category with a decent excuse.

I actually find this very impressive. I figure that Uruguay does not necessarily have a "huge tax base" from which to draw tremendous amounts of funds and yet they STILL chose to prioritize that!
