Energy in Estonia
Energy in Estonia describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in Estonia.
Electricity production in Estonia is largely dependent on fossil fuels. In 2007, more than 90% of power was generated from oil shale.[1] The Estonian energy company Eesti Energia owns the largest oil shale-fuelled power plants in the world, Narva Power Plants.[2]

Transport sector
Since February 2013, Estonia has for the population of 1.3 million a network of 165 "fast chargers" for electric cars.[8]
gollark: Any reliable past/future information channel would be data-mined to death, I think.
gollark: I mean, yes, FTL is equivalent to time travel, but I didn't mention that.
gollark: What does a warp drive have to do with this?
gollark: Like I said, if you could reliably get future information/transmit information backward in time, that would be ridiculously powerful.
gollark: Wait, presupposes that *god* can do that (which is required if said god is omnipotent), or that *people* can get future information?
