Good intentions vs good extractions

Turkey is energy-poor, that is to say, it lacks large fossil-fuel reserves and has had to spend millions of liras to generate power from its natural resources with hydroelectric dams across most major rivers, solar panels on every house, and wind farms on the Aegean coast.

Other sources of energy such as a nuclear power plant at Akkuyu remain unrealized after a decade of planning, and geothermal energy sources, while significant, have yet to be comprehensively explored. Alternatives to fossil fuels currently only provide about 15% of Turkey’s needs, and global warming has begun to have serious adverse effects on hydroelectric-power output.
