Hi Bill,

Thanks. Compared to the rest of Korea, Jeju definitely does get enough sunlight to make solar attractive. I’m not sure I’d say that it gets more sunlight than Midwest America or Central and Southern California, though. Jeju certainly has to deal with its fair share of storms and rain.

On wind, when I went to Jeju I also visited one of the two wind farms on the island. Both farms are along the coast. Wind is a big developing industry on Jeju and the island residents want a piece of the economic pie, so to speak. Here’s an article I wrote from an interview I conducted on Jeju about wind energy: http://ecolocalizer.com/2008/08/14/south-korean-islanders-ask-who-owns-the-wind/

Good article but you failed to tell your readers the difference between CheJu and small town America. Cheju is out in the middle of the ocean with constant sunlight. Very tropical and hot. Not your typical city to compare when talking solar energy. Also, I bet you wont see any windmills destroying the landscape of this great Korean island.

Regards,

Solar panels are the way of the future. In India as well there is a huge potential. Indian government has special plans for providing subsidies. Check out this article: http://www.onepv.com/government_incentives.htm

Hopefully India will also have full solarised villages in the nesr future.

Its nice to know that there are those who dare to explore nature’s bounty. It would be much better if such articles give full information on the economics of such a venture. Now why did the Govt subsidize 70% of this effort, if it was successful why hv they not replicated this elsewhere…these r all questions we need to answer, OR the article should give links to such other successful (ad)ventures. Else it would be taken as an experiment which FAILED…
