What do you propose yourself?
Anonymous (not verified) | Sun, 2007-09-09 11:10
For a small island like St Martin /St Maarten what do you think the (affordable) alternative to oil would be? I am not being sarcastic, I am genuinly curious. Is there a viable option?
Even in environmentally concious European countries, I don't see a lot of wind generators and solar panels doing the job. At least in Europe, I believe most of the power is nuclear. I don't see a nuclear power plant as an option for St Maarten.
Could you please explain in your article what you think GEBE should do differently?
(I'll write a post in the coming week giving the alternatives, there are many. Wind power is almost doubling on a yearly basis in Europe and I believe Germany is now the leader in Solar, followed by California, where 1 million homes are planned to go solar over the next two years. - More soon...
