ANSWER: Mexico
United States, Canada and Mexico will generate half their overall electricity from clean energy by 2025, according to the White House
- This is an aggressive goal yet achievable continent wide
- In 2015, clean energy-wind, solar and hydropower plus nuclear power accounted for 37 percent of the three countries electricity
- In the United States, region’s largest electricity producer by far, clean energy generates around a third of the total output, placing it below Canada but ahead of Mexico
- The rise in the coming years will mostly be driven by renewables and energy efficiency
- Canadian cities use hydropower to generate 59 percent of electricity and nuclear power for another 16 percent
- Mexico will join an existing commitment by the US and Canada for reducing the methane production by 40-45 percent of its 2012 level by 2025
