ecoworldly.com — The village?s forty houses and the school all have large solar panels covering their roofs. A typical roof will have a two kilowatt solar installation. In 2004, the government subsidized the solar systems in Donggwang, paying 70% of the installation fees.

In Alaska, I'd recommend wind power. You'd be selling lots of power to the power company.

This is great news guys. 1. Now there is a city powered by wind <a class="user" href="http://cleantechnica.com/2008/05/05/first-wind-powered-city/">http://cleantechnica.com/2008/05/05/first-wind-pow ...</a> 2. A city powered by hydrogen <a class="user" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23451723/">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23451723/</a>3. Cars that run on half gasoline and half water <a class="user" href="http://www.water4gas-scam.com">http://www.water4gas-scam.com</a>This is awesome! Great to see the world going towards greener fuels and my guess is that with certain parts of the world already paying $8/gallon of gasoline, we're going to see more and more green fuels

You're comparing Obama to Kim Jong Il because they're both engineers? You, sir, are a retard.bhod didn't even say Obama was a brilliant engineer. All he said was that Obama probably will support solar power funding.

What the hell are you talking about? I lived in SK for half my life time and there IS online banking. There ARE secure transactions.

Americans do have luxuries but be careful when you cite higher taxes in other countries such as the UK and Canada. Some of those costs end up costing Americans more out of pocket. Health care is a good example. Health care in America is a wonderful luxury if you are rich enough. 48 million Americans cant afford health care. Thats 1/6th of our entire population. While you spend more money on taxes that actually raise the quality of life in your country, we spend taxes on blowing up and rebuilding Iraq. How would you like it if someone forced your country to spend 500 billion dollars on Iraq? I personally walk by multiple starving people on the street everyday here in America... eating out of trash cans and trying to sleep on concrete, sometimes relieving themselves on the sidewalk cuz they have nowhere else to go. To see that and know that ANY of my tax dollars are going to Iraq pisses me off.

Solar panels are great, but we in the US can do even better with Space Solar Power, as David Kagan wrote about in Sunstroke. I loved the article.

Solar power can be used everywhere. Solar power can also be used to charge batteries that you can use at night ;)Germany is the country with the greatest use of solar power: <a class="user" href="http://www.gelsenpv.de">http://www.gelsenpv.de</a>
