Dongwang, the 100% solar town
Posted by Sebastien | Filed under Opinions, Random
Donggwang, a little Korean town, has achieved what even the most powerful countries in the world are still struggling to accomplish: total energy independence with clean technology. The village’s forty houses and the school all have large solar panels covering their roofs. In 2004, the government helped to install solar systems in Donggwang, paying 70% of the installation fees. A great initiative that we ought to replicate everywhere.
