Tokelau Becomes First Country To Go 100% Solar
First time accepted submitter zonky writes "Tokelau has become the first country in the world to go 100% solar power generation, moving away from their entirely diesel power supply, which formerly supplied the energy needs of the 1400 residents of their small south pacific Island Nation. From the article: 'All three atolls in the South Pacific dependency, a New Zealand territory, will have their own solar power system by the end of October, despite a slight delay switching on the first system.'"
When I was last in New Zealand they used to call the Polynesian transvestites there "Kiwifruit" on the basis that they were brown and hairy and soft in the middle.
I said - don't look Ethel!..., but it was too late..., she'd already looked.
