Korean village runs completely on solar power
On one hand, when I read a news story about an entire village in South Korea drawing 100% of its power from the sun, I get excited and optimistic, but on the other hand, it only makes me sad to think we don't have something like this going in the United States.Sure, there are plenty of solar-powered homes in the US, and there are plenty of entire cities that are extending into a more off-grid power structure, but the kicker of this story is the fact that the South Korean government covered 70% of the installation fees for this project! Government-funded alternative energy projects in action, what a novel idea! Not only that, they announced a plan to raise Jeju-du Island's wind power generation capacity to 500 megawatts by 2020. I'd hate to think about how many solar panels a Blackhawk helicopter could buy.
