Do you want solar power wired in your next home?

Our opinions were not sought when cable TV points were installed in our HDB homes, you get them regardless of whether you want them.

Now there is a survey out there asking if you want solar power wired into your next home.  Not done by the officials, but by a group of people who are concerned about future availability of cheap power.  Want to have your say?

Who knows, maybe your next home will come with solar power devices installed (that will help you save utilities costs) instead of infrastructure that silently encourages you to migrate over to monopolistic entertainment services.

Remembering the Great Singapore Blackout

Simon Tay wrote an interesting account of his experiences during the 29 June 2004 blackout in Singapore. Interesting how life has gone back to normal since then, and memories of this worrisome event reduced to something that seems so remote.

This event that affected almost every one in Singapore happened barely two years ago, but most have forgotten about it. Amongst those who still remembers, the incident was casted aside as an “anamoly in the system” (Matrix?). Only a handful amongst those who remember knows that it was more of a prelude, or sign of a bigger crisis to come.

Do you remember? If you do, you can always blog on your own experiences and tag it with sgblackout2004
