  Fantastic! Kudos to the Ghanaian promoters behind this pioneering renewable energy company.
  
  Since IBM Research is an American company, why do they not approach IBM Research Zurich's solar energy partners, AirLight Energy's, thermal solar with molten salts storage subsidiary, D-Solar, to collaborate with them to bring this project to fruition?

  How can a journalist write that USD704,000 can provide 100MW of solar powered electricity? Go back to school and stop writing the rubbish.

  It is high time Technical people get themselves into journalism in Ghana. Clearly $704,000 cannot provide 100 MW of power. A village in Ghana cannot use 1% of that Power. One unit of Gas Turbine at Aboadze is 100 MW and VRA h ...

  It is high time Technical people get themselves into journalism in Ghana. Clearly $704,000 cannot provide 100 MW of power. A village in Ghana cannot use 1% of that Power. One unit of Gas Turbine at Aboadze is 100 MW and VRA had 2 units of gas turbine and 1 unit of steam turbine at the commencement of Power generation, all totaling 300 MW.Does the Journalist know what 100 MW is?

  The way forward. Ghana government must take cue for this project and build a capacity for the wide use of solar power in Ghana.

  Until Mahama and his group of thieves leave office, no smart person or country will dole their hard earned tax money to fix problems we brought unto ourselves.
  if you use your own money to plant trees in dry season, rear guinea fowls only to fly to another country, brand buses,borrow $250 million at high interest, then lend it to a nigerian bank at low interest only to borrow your own money at high interest from same nigerian bank,use tax payers money to lend interest free to friends and family, promote corrupt officials, play gimmicks with economy.
  
  Then, you want other countries to give you free money to fix the problems you stupidly created?
  
  WHO DOES THAT?
  
  NDC has made Ghana a laughing stock around the world. I liked Mahama way before he became a president.
  
  But, the day I saw him take a picture under CNN tower, I said" what a bleep has Ghana married again".
  
  That was where it all started, the open buffoonery display of a chimp enthroned over good people of Ghana and our resources.
  
  I always say that either NDC folks have no brains or wicked than satan himself or both.
  
  I have never seen a group of people in leadership as stupid as these clown crass of people.
  
  NPP is not a saint but at least they can think right in terms of managing economy. It does not matter whether if Ghanaians vote for Greeenstreet, Nduom or Nana Addo.
  
  what will be a sacrilege and affront to the wise Ghanaian is to repeat NDC as leaders of Ghana. Trust me God will give a sigh of agony will himself supervise the punishment of our stupidity.
  
  But for this NDC, I wonder if any can make heaven with their crime, lies, robbery and cheating.
  No wonder none of them can be seen of making it life on their own other than stealing, envying hard working Ghanaians and hence killing them for their properties.
  
  Pure low lifers always begging.
  
  That is a the life of one cursed by God.
