Samso is energy independent and carbon neutral now. Video

Edited on Mon Dec-07-09 08:38 PM by amerikat

I saw this on PBS World Focus this evening. Samso Island Denmark
started to go renewable 10 years ago and is now free of fossil fuels and is carbon
neutral. Very inspiring.

I think the lesson here is to go local and get the job done.
Perhaps we look at the energy mess and it seems to big to handle,
but if we think of it on a smaller more local perspective it seems more
doable.

3. Weird, was unrecced after your rec, so I rec'd.

What the hell. Screw you guys unreccing (unless it was two accidental unreccs in a row which is unlikely; I *have* misclicked before).

6. I hate the un rec function.

I know it has been discussed here and I still don't get the concept.

4. There's also this: Destroyed US town a model of eco-living as it rebuilds

Not as impressive as Samso, yet, but they have the potential there!
