Smart and sustainable use of energy in Finland

In Finland the three biggest energy sources are firewood (25%), oil (23%) and nuclear power (18%). The smaller energy sources are for example hydro power, wind power and carbon. In 2014 38% of electricity production was made by renewable energy.
    To reduce the use of fossil motor fuels for example we build new factories for renewable energy sources. To reduce the consumption of energy in Finland for example during the winter the temperature in public spaces is not raised to the summer heat, this temperature is considered to be "long sleeved shirt warmth".
   The future development in energy usage in Finland is wind power. Hundreds of wind turbines are being planned in Finland at the moment. Also there are about 250 hydroelectric power plants in Finland, it makes 10-20% of energy.
