An article in today's Gleaner stated that there are four main challenges facing Jamaica. Food security,An economic downturn,a high crime rate and high energy costs. I have always been amazed at the high price of energy in Jamaica. My Jamaican lady friend has a very small house and pays almost $100.00 US a month. Very expensive compared to what i am used to in the NE US. I have been traveling to Jamaica since 1969 and have wondered why there is so little,if any. utilization of wind and solar creating energy. It seems like a no brainer.
