Geothermally.

Explanation:

Iceland is more or less a bunch of volcanoes. The vast majority of buildings are heated by piping water down into the earth. When it comes up the return pipe it is steaming hot. Additionally, geothermal heat is used in electrical generating stations that produce 1/4 of all electricity used by the country.
