Building on wind and sun
Spain draws a remarkable share of its electricity from wind and sun — on windy nights the grid has run on renewables alone — and it got there deliberately, with wind farms along the ridges of the meseta and solar across the south, where the sunshine that makes summer punishing turns into an asset. Spanish firms now build and run that infrastructure worldwide. The same appetite for large projects produced a high-speed rail network in thirty years. For a country that was largely rural within living memory, the future is something Spain builds rather than waits for.
