4. Iceland – 7.8 points
This geologically active country is rich in volcanoes and geysers (A geyser is a hot spring that erupts water in certain intervals). Thanks to geothermal power Iceland gets its electricity and hot water dirt cheap. There have been occasions where steel has been shipped for processing from Australia or Africa and when finished shipped back to the originating country. Cheap local energy actually makes this cost effective. According to the Human Development Index, Iceland (together with Norway) is the world’s most developed country.
冰岛 —— 7.8分
这个地质活跃的国家有很多火山和间歇泉(间歇泉就是间断喷发的温泉)。由于这些地热动力,冰岛的电和热水特别便宜。很多时候,钢铁从澳洲或非洲运到冰岛加工,加工完成后再运回去。冰岛便宜的能量让这生意非常划算。
根据人类发展指数,冰岛(与挪威)是世界上最发达的国家。
