« Read previous post Home Read next post » US Virgin Islands to go Solar May 17, 2005 07:49 AM - Because of soaring oil prices , the lucky residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands are encouraged to switch to solar power . At the present time, the islands burn oil that they import from St. Croix to generate electricity, so on average the utility bill of a Virgin-Islander (how do you call these people anyway?) rose by 3.7% this month . The situation has lead to widespread abuse, with people bypassing their water and electricity meters, creating a deficit for the utility company. Is this a vision of the future for other parts of the world? "Home owners and businesses could save millions by drawing on the U.S. Caribbean territory's sunny skies to make their own electricity. Consumers could buy and install solar panels with help from government loans and grants and sell excess energy to the government," a very un- Enronesque recommendation by Alberto Bruno-Vega, who heads the power authority. One thing is certain, a change is needed because the utility company threatened to cut off water and electricity for new schools and health clinics unless the government finishes paying its debts to the utility. ::ENN [by MGR] « Read previous post Home Read next post » :: Comments Post a comment But before you do - please note the following: a) Imagine you are raising your hand in a crowded room to ask a question or make a comment.

Home Resorts Facts Vacations ... More Caribbean Resorts St. Thomas is Much Much More than Shopping For the more than one million cruise ship passengers and overnight guests who visit St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands each year, the island's prominence as one of the Caribbean's most renowned shopping meccas is one of its most alluring attractions. With duty-free shopping exemptions unrivaled by any other Caribbean destination, and fine dining and accommodations at an exceptional value, St. Thomas is indeed a treasure discovery for travelers. Stretched along the waterfront, restored 17th- and 18th-century warehouses - once used to hold molasses, rum, spices and other trade goods awaiting export - now house a variety of unique shops containing modern-day treasures. Yet after navigating through the narrow byways of downtown Charlotte Aalie's historic shopping district, visitors to St. Thomas still have much of the island's historical significance to explore. Charlotte Amalie harbor is the perfect place for travelers to begin their journey through St. Thomas' history. Harborside since 1672, Fort Christian is the oldest standing structure in the Virgin Islands. Now a U.S. national landmaark, this brick fortress was built to protect the town's harbor from raiding European armadas which sailed the Caribbean centuries ago. Having once served as St. Thomas' first Government House, a church and community government center, Fort Christian today is the home to the Virgin Islands Museum, where early island memorabilia and old maps trace the islands' history.

US Virgin Islands US Virgin Islands History and Government History: The islands were first inhabited by Carib and Arawak Indians but, in common with the rest of the Caribbean, they endured various waves of European invasion and settlement from the 1490s onwards, finally becoming part of the Danish West Indies. The US government purchased the Islands in 1917 and they are now an unincorporated territory of the USA. A measure of self-government was introduced in 1954, along with the introduction of an elected senate. Politics on the islands follow the Republican-Democrat division of the USA itself. From the evidence of gubernatorial elections, the political complexion of the islands was distinctly Republican from 1970 until 1982. This is when the Governorship passed to the Democrats, who held the post until the present incumbent, Roy Schneider, representing the Independent Citizens’ Movement, was elected in 1994. Despite the fact that the Republicans did not even put up a candidate, Schneider’s efforts to secure a second term failed when he was defeated by Democrat Charles Turnbul at the November 1998 poll. At the most recent elections in November 2002, Turnbul secured a second term of office, while simultaneous elections for the senate returned the Democrats with a majority of a single seat.
