Salvador is a net importer of electric energy!
The entire production capacity of the country couldn't power more than 1/6 of the current hashrate even if we assume the most efficient gear in terms of j/Gh.
I don't think 15% is consider a net importer, besides a small country with a very small population of about 6-7 million is not supposed to produce that much electricity because there has never been that much demand for it.
I'm not an expert but if demand rises, the infrastructure will be built to meet the demand.
And if you think that the EU with its crazy eco-movement where everything is solar and wind is too far away from banning anything related to fossil fuel you're deeply mistaken.
The only problem EU currently has is Putin's boot on their neck as he is controlling the gas flow to EU and he has decreased it recently to push the price up. Otherwise their eco-movement is a joke and will be forgotten when Russia loosens the valves to let more gas reach EU.
