I am Chris Mason, and I run an Alternative Energy Installation company based in Anguilla but offering services throughout the Caribbean. I feel it important for the future of Anguilla that we are aware of our energy consumption and are ready to discuss alternative sources. Like most Caribbean Islands, Anguilla gets 100% of its power from burning diesel and is entirely at the mercy of the oil suppliers. The Government is aware of the dangers of this dependency and has explored the use of Renewable Energy Sources in the National Energy Policy which you can find on the Comet Energy website http://www.cometenergysystems.com/. It makes for interesting reading.
