The Carbon War Room
A great first step. A bit disappointed that Antigua and the USVI weren’t there. But no worries this is a marathon not a sprint.
St. Lucia, St. Kitts-Nevis, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the British Virgin islands (BVI), Thursday signed a pact that help islands implement near-term, demonstrative renewable solutions in schools, hospitals, public transport, tourism and utility scale renewable energy.
The agreement was signed during the meeting organised by the Carbon War Room, a nonprofit organization chaired by Sir Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group.
Sir Richard said islands in the Caribbean have extremely high electricity costs and the new renewable projects could help reduce those costs.
“What we hope to do is use Necker as a test island to show how it can be done. The only way we’re going to win this war is by creative entrepreneurship, to make the price of clean energy cheaper than that of energy from fossil fuels.”

Reality Check – Are You Ready For Your Future?
This is the new reality. Live with it !
- No private sector organization will hire you full-time if they don’t need you full time.
- Temp gigs are booming but, unlike the old days, temporary “jobs” are no longer the harbinger of so-called permanent jobs to come.
- No large company is any safer than any smaller company in terms of providing job security.
- No end is in sight for the economic change the U.S. is facing.
- You may not count on yesterday’s competencies and skills to get you to the future.
- Jobs themselves, and compensation for all forms of work, are no longer longevity-driven.
- None of us, of any age, can afford to overlook the fact that we are an aging nation.
- The likelihood is strong that you will cycle with increasing frequency between various ways to work throughout your working years.
