Was it just a bad idea? On first thought it is an innovative idea. It’s refreshing to see such original ideas out in the world. But since various initiatives have started in France, Netherlands and other areas several findings indicate it is not all we thought it was […]
A small Greek island is about to show the islands around the world how to become energy independent using only renewable sources, if only on a small scale. They are not yet like Apple, running on 100% or Scotland running at 98%. The small island of Tilos is located […]
