I'm really puzzled as to why there is so little attention paid to the promotion of solar in Jamaica, where my wife and I have a house. Energy costs there are astronomical and only going to get worse, and yet it is the perfect environment for solar power. The solar powered life guard hut is a great example of what should be happeneing in schools, government buildings etc etc all over the island. How can I help get things moving? Best wishes Derek Hi Simone

I was recently charged with starting a 'solar energy' blog to support our homeowner online quoting website - solarpanelquoter.co.uk. When I started looking for inspiration for how the blog would look and what direction it should take, I visited many stories regarding solar energy. This quickly led onto more unusual types of renewable energy and so was born the idea - to provide a quick non-techie round up of renewable energy stories from around the world. I've experimented with Twitter to promote every new post etc and am now seeing a steady following which proves to me there is much interest in renewable energy production. And yes, It's a real voyage of discovery as I hunt out the snippets of news and features - in fact it's so exciting some of the stuff I come across that I can't wait to 'publish' it. Glad to hear the launch went so well. Regards Jonathan http://solarpanelquoter.blogspot.com Hi Simone
