Samsø, Denmark, uses only renewable energy sources.
The island of Samsø, off Denmark's east coast, has wasted no time. Between 1998 and 2007 it abandoned its total dependence on imported fossil fuels and now relies entirely on renewables, mainly wind and biomass. It's been singled out as the world's first 100% renewable island by the Rapid Transition Alliance (RTA), which says Samsø can teach the world some vital lessons about changing fast and radically.

Just a nitpick: The Island does suck in some CO2... you even mentioned it: not by magic but by growing straw...

but that C02 is not sequestered; it is released back into the atmosphere when the straw is burned or decomposes.
