A pilot project in one of Canada's largest indigenous communities suggests replacing expensive and polluting diesel with solar energy.
The best option is to install solar panels in regions with large solar activity, such as Africa or Asia.
But solar energy is needed not only in those places where it is very much.
Canadian communities in the far north, which have only five hours of daylight, can soon switch from diesel to clean solar energy.
With an investment of $ 560,000, solar panels will help you learn solar technology for 12 months.
Victoria Herrmann, director of the Washington Institute for the Arctic, believes that investing in renewable and hybrid energy systems in the Arctic is very reasonable.
She explained that, on average, residents of the Arctic pay twice as much as their southern counterparts for heating, electricity and fuel for transport.
This year, Canada has allocated $ 400 million from the federal budget for the creation of the 11-year fund of the Arctic energy.
