    Amen to that. Ghana government plz listen to Japan and stop that nuclear energy shit you were thinking about. Solar is the way to the future and thank God, Ghana has more solar than we need to power the entire nation.

    I have been using solar energy for about 20 years. It is cost effective. Soon I shall add a wind turbine. I harvest rain water also.

    Our politicians are only interested in their astronomical salary increases and huge ESBs!After Independence,the late Prez. Nkrumah canvassed for solar and wind energy for Ghana!How long is it now?Our people are just sleeping!

  • Kojo Billy Duncan 12 years ago

    Yes indeed, and we talk too much instead of implementing concrete actions to improve our lives.

    Doc. The nation is void with visionaries . Our only way of life is reaping each one off and leaving everybody destitute. Just imagine the total cost of this project was $7.6 million US Dollars and a swindler like Mr. Woyome w ...

    Thank- you Japan. Solar energy is by far the best,safest, healthiest and environment-friendly energy. The Japan ambassador is perfectly right and we should use our plentiful supply of sunshine.

    Tell those foolish officials to stop dreaming and talking about nuclear power. Why haven't the VRA or ECG considered solar energy? Those CEOs must be fired for lack of vision.

  • Ghanabiya 12 years ago

    So with all our intellectuals, it is only the Japanese Ambassador's advice is worth listening to, as far as solar energy is concern.

    Why do we always want outsiders to think for us?

  • Grace 12 years ago

    I endorse this comment. Why do we always want outsiders to think for us. Why are we always waiting for Ad money from a foreign country. The use of Solar energy for a country like GH is a no brainer and if politicians put the ...
