Montecara is in the process of moving away from fossil fuels and toward sustainable energy but badly lags behind schedule in its goal, set in 2000, to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Less than ten percent of the electricity generated in Montecara comes from a renewable source, with the remaining more than ninety percent coming from oil and natural gas.
Nuclear power is a highly contentious political issue in Montecara. Montecara has been a nuclear-free zone since 1985 in response to plans by Comega to build a boiling water reactor.
Montecara must import all its fossil fuels and is therefore highly dependent on the flow of international shipping to supply its energy needs.
