Yes, the sun is freely there and readily available and yet, not prudent enough since one cannot harness the power of the sun adequately with the technologies we have at our disposal at the moment. However, the Israelians have chanced upon a technology which experts believed could revolutionised the world in not too a distant future and it is called "The Advance Stages of Solar Heating" for now.
What is the scientific fuss all about? Well, leading the pack are Meyer and Grätzel and they are developing cheap and efficient processes based on solar cells that convert solar energy into electricity, which can also be used for vehicle propulsion. The cells are able to split water into hydrogen and oxygen – a critical step in the generation of solar-based fuels, whose only emissions are water.
Though, still in her infancy at the laboratory level, but already creating potential viable waves across the spectrum of the science community. In fact, it is so promising that it is almost becoming a breakthrough with vengeance on fossil fuels and yet as clean as whistle before our ozone. Such is the level of the promising feat at the bosom of these two above scientists vowing to make Tel Aviv proud before the world.

Ghanaian Scientists could do similar research if supported by the government. Less than a quarter of this money in research for two -five years and Ghanaian scientists around the world are top notch who can be attracted back home!
Due to corruption, our leadership never support home-grown scientists and inventions and financing of innovations and businesses. They will make huge purchases like this senseless one and pocket some 10% or more.
Wicked and corrupt leaders and Parliamentarians of Ghana!

Guys check on the web, Ghana has one of the largest solar energy plants in south Saharan Africa. It's running as we speak. Others This is an indication that as a people we are looking at all the alternatives. Wind farms are also springing up with one due for operation in here by 2016. We are not doing badly at all though there is room for improvement

There are similarities and differences between the Osagyefo Badge and this one. Both produce electricity and are not mounted permanently on land. The differences are that the Osagyefo is on a Badge (just floating) and this one is a ship. Their capacities also differ. Again Osagyefo runs on Diesel or gas whereas this one runs on HFO or gas, hence resulting in different cost of electricity from both. With respect to usage of the Osagyefo, it had suffered protracted litigation which ended somewhere mid of this year. Indeed both are useful. With the litigation out of the way we should expect work on it to continue and commissioned. All of these information is on the web my dear countrymen and women. Best regards

Ghanaians always complain of Electricity problems and this has had huge problems on our economy as demand has increase on what the Brit left behind. But now that the Govt. is making an effort for alternative, all we do is whinning like kids. This is our own cultural problem in the making with Africa way of thinking, we tend to not plan years ahead which is why we're in this situation with population growth and economic expantion. People in the develop world are not that smarter than we are, we just self-centered and its killing as. This is not a Mahama or some current govt. issue but ...those that has come before us. Or our peaceful Democratic land will keep suffering if we don't think ahead. Chic

HAVEN SAID THAT, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINIONS. TO THE MAIN SUBJECT, I DISAGREE OF THE DEAL THE GOVERNMENT HAD WITH THE TURKS TO THE FACT THAT SOME DEAL ARE WORSE THAN NO DEAL AT ALL. REMEMBER, WE ARE COMMITTING TO A 50M DOLLARS AND THAT MEANS WE HAVE THE POWER TO NEGOTIATE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE NATION. THE FACT THAT WE NEED ELECTRICITY DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING THAT COMES TO OUR DOORSTEPS WE MUST GRAB. THEY WANT IT ON A VESSEL, AND THAT ALONE TELLS YOU THAT THEY HAVE OTHER INTENTIONS, AND THAT MAKES IT A BAD INVESTMENT.
WE MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE LOCATION OF THE VESSEL IF IT'S IN GHANA'S OR INTERNATIONAL SEA, WHICH LEGALLY THEY CAN MOVE THE SHIP WITHOUT NOTICE.

Republishing this article doesn't help solve our problem. Again it makes no common sense to still engage in thermal plants, only lazy people will advocate for this generators and besides it is not sustainable. its just going to increase the cost of electricity any time fuel prices goes up. I still don't understand why government is not applying much urgency in Solar and wind which is much more sustainable and economically viable.
