I am an Australian teaching and living in Singapore. I recently rang up SP services to enquire about renewable energies (knowing full well they didn't exist here, i wanted to ask WHY?) I was dumb-founded when the people on the other end of the phone line had NO IDEA at all what I was talking about. I just couldn't believe it. I think the suggestion above is definitely one option that this 'forward thinking' government should be looking at and investing in very soon. To Sue Gee Cheng: http://www.power-technology.com/projects/jurong/ is one power plant that I have found in Singapore. Not too sure of any others though. I'd love you guys to join my community at http://worldin-crisis.sixgroups.com and add some information for discussion.

Brief intro on myself, I'm a solar enthusiast, and was always in to self-reliance in terms of powering needs & survival. You can visit my site at www.dxnmedia.net/hobby_solar.htm On the issues you've raised, I've check with the local authorities many years back, and recently again to bring up my questions. And they kept saying that it's not viable, it's not viable, etc... So when will it be viable to embark on solar applications is the question that i will want to raise, and have raised to them, but I've gotten no replies. Is it only economically viable only when it's reached a point when there no fossil fuel left on earth? The sooner we start using solar for power generation in sunlight abundent Singapore, the sooner the economical viability will be reached. Think of a solar generation array on every HDB flat's rooftop! How much power per block can be generated per day, and it can be grid tied to supply power back to the utilities! I've even proposed to fund my own solar setup and asked for permission to gain access to my apartment's rooftop, but has gotten no replies from the authorities. So my question again lies in do the relevant authorities care about our future? Even China is boldly setting up solar farms despite the high initial setup cost...they are looking into the future, and they are far sighted....what are we doing? Hi,
