Mintid Farayar Posted January 14, 2009 AZ, You're absolutely right about solar power but one step at a time; little by little we can increase the pace and learning curve. This is a good start if what JB says about the price differential between the gas and charcoal is correct. Gives an alternative that's not clean fuel, but environmentally cleaner than the previous alternative (charcoal). For those of us,who travel throughout the African continent, we see what's occurring in other African states. These type of endeavors are always funded by Western NGOs or Bilateral Aid Governmental Agencies with Western nationals taking the lion's share of the profits. Maybe, I'm speaking too soon since I'm assuming that it's a Somali owned enterprise. But so far, impressive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted January 14, 2009 This is so like 1980s, [snaps fingers], boombalo gas shimee isticmaali jirnay in Xamar! Anyways, gas stoves needs to be watched constantly, if not used correctly, it can destroy a whole village in minutes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera Posted January 14, 2009 MF i wasn't trying to downplay SomGas which from the looks of it is a more environmentally friendly and less costly energy source. I was highlighting what Allah(swt) blessed us with, which is the Sun. Countries such as Spain are making full use of their climate, even the warmer states of the US have their Solar fields Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted January 14, 2009 African Own. I'm well acquainted with the fact that the people have been through a lot. What has the availability of gas cylinders got to do with that?? God, it gets better.. Some people were already shipping them from Carabta for years. It only makes life easy for those who have the money and benefits that particular company. This is good PR for that company and that's all but it's not amazing news to me because I think Somaalis are capable of more. *shock* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kool_Kat Posted January 14, 2009 Qudhac, topic isn't closed, wah...We're just getting started...Maxaa adi topic qaad kusaabsan uga gubanee? That's what I don't understand... On a serious note, aniga sheeko kama dhigin...Ee like I said before, someone used qaad/sigaar as an example instead of the more important things in life...So I thought there surely must be something/anything more important worth mentioning that's worth $10 in Hargeysa than qaad as an example, specially in a thread where horumarka wadanka lagaga hadlaayo (ie. gasoline company)...Understood! Now we can close this topic...What's next? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted January 14, 2009 Originally posted by Adam-Zayla: Solar power is the future! With our hot climate we would be blessed with power for life Solar power is expensive though initially, but it's definitely the future energy in somalia if we are smart. I was reading an article a while back about a solar powered desalination plant in australia which was very interesting, something similar could done in somalia(puntland), but the problem is the cost is something around 300 million. Maybe in the future, because water will be a scarce resource soon and somali climate is perfect for solar power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
