“One critical issue is to bring the regional governments up to speed with the acceptance and encouragement of the use of alternative energy both within the private sector and commercially. Too many islands have a legal framework that restrict the use of solar or wind as a primary source of energy, and even those that do limit the option of sellback into the grid. The natural environment of the Caribbean offers bountiful sun and wind and the regional governments should be offering suitable incentives to homeowners and businesses with tax incentives for the importation of the necessary infrastructure.”
