I'm going to go ahead and assume that the article means it comes at zero cost to Portugal, as a country, thus not having to import it. It would be fairly misleading though.
It still Should cost.
Renewable is far from free
i'm always confused by this. does this include traditional fuel or just the electric grid?
Nope, all of Portugal now only has electric vehicles. No air planes, only zeppelins and hot air balloons. No boats, only floaty arm bands, rafts, canoes, and kayaks.
feeling edgy today, aren't we?
