Solar Panels, 800.292.7648

• 2007-Dec-24 - Poor Sunny Country Can't Afford Solar Panels?

Uganda gets plenty of sun, making it a great spot for solar energy. There’s only one problem: In one of the world’s most impoverished nations, few people can afford an imported solar panel.

Poorer countries accuse the rich of pressuring them to control emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, while refusing to provide them with technology needed to do so without hurting their economies.

They have made their demands that rich nations provide cheap access to green know-how a centerpiece of the U.N. climate change conference in Bali, Indonesia. “We know the challenges are there, but we cannot respond to the challenges because we don’t have the capacity,” said Maria Mutagamba, Uganda’s environment minister.

Wealthy countries say they must consider demands of private companies for protection of their intellectual property rights, assurances they will have the opportunity to profit from their investments, and better regulation and laws in host nations.
