A tortuous journey awaits electric jeepneys and electric cars in the country, with transportation officials imposing new and additional requirements before the registration and licensing of these units.

When Robert Puckett started selling solar panels in 1976, the scientific community’s concern about greenhouse gasses was only beginning to heat up. Global warming wasn’t a household word then.

By contrast, the huge duty and tax incentives in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Australia, Thailand (a newcomer in solar energy), the US, Germany and Spain, have resulted in substantial reduction in their energy bills and reduced importation of fossil fuel in addition to the benefit reaped by the environment from such clean energy.

But in tropical countries like the Philippines — where the wind comes mainly from open seas and mountain tops — this source of energy is virtually unknown.
