In Iceland we have seen the potential of a nation that has embraced renewable energy resources such as #geothermal. Alaskans have seen the advantages of utilizing low-temperature geothermal and we should work to maximize this reliable, emissions-free energy resource.

Celebrating Geir Haarde as he steps down as the Icelandic Ambassador to the US. Fortunately he and his wife, Inga Jona Thordardottir, won’t be leaving us for good, as @GHaarde will begin a new position at the @WorldBank.
