[…] Elad Orian is clearly a man on mission. It’s just gone 8pm and he is busy telling me about his work with Comet-ME, which provides renewable energy to Palestinian villagers living in the south Hebron Hills. His mission, however, is to save 6 of these projects from demolition. “The Palestinians were hoping it wouldn’t come to this as the solar panels had been there for a while,” tells me Orian over the phone. “But in the same way, this isn’t exactly a big surprise. In Area C there are around 10,000 outstanding demolition orders…” […]

[…] Elad Orian, a physicist at Comet-ME, told the Associated Press that the group didn’t ask for permits, feeling it would have been futile because Israel considers the communities illegal. He believes demolition is still months away, and hopes political pressure by Germany, which gave more than 400,000 euros ($520,000), will save the projects. […]

Solar Energy can save the planet and countries like Palestinians. It is cheap, it will always be and its the solution to not be under the knife of petreleum and gas.

Palestinians need the green energy for making progress. I see the same in Greece (we are not very rich country), we need solar and wind energy to build a stronger society.

We will only be remembered for the things we did that we did not get paid for, all other are blowing away in the wind….

“If for an instant God forgot that I am just a puppet, and He
gave me one more piece of life, I would take advantage of
that time, the best I could.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.”

Green Foot Forward has been advocating the construction of a solar wall of peace that would run the length of the border between Gaza and Isreal. Electric power from the sun might be just the thing to help bring light into a region that yearns for peace.
