Chile has joined the ambitious green gang, planning to source 100% of its energy from renewable sources by 2040. It's impressive how fast they've been adding wind and solar capacity.

Interesting. What does Chile's carbon footprint look like now? In the grand scheme of things, is Chile's move significant on its own, or just more another indicator of the way the world is going?

Just another indicator i would suspect. I mean, after all, it's by 2040 ...

It's the top copper producer in the world, so I wouldn't imagine its footprint to be as modest as those of countries of a similar size but yes, I too think it's more of an indication of a trend than anything else.
