The name Ladakh conjures an image of a land of many passes. It nestles in the trans Himalayan region bordered by Pakistan and Tibet at heights of 2600 to 7000 m above sea level. Ladakh receives less than 100 mm of rainfall in a year and is a high altitude cold desert region with temperatures dropping to -40 degrees Celsius. Home to an estimated 170000 people who live in remote villages and hamlets, it is completely cut off from the outside world for more than 5 months in a year. More than half the villages and hamlets are accessible by foot, up to 3 days walking from nearest motorable point. As other energy forms were unviable, Solar was the natural choice, considering that Ladakh is blessed with sunshine for more than 300 days in a year. Watch the video to discover how Tata BP Solar transformed the lives of the inhabitants of Ladakh, bringing light and hope to their doorstep.....

Is the US shipping green jobs overseas? We took a quick look at the destruction of a recently expanded manufacturing plant that created solar panels. The plant had been working steadily in Maryland for 30 years and recently had to shut its doors. The question is why? With the new initiatives and calling for Green Energy by the Obama administration you would think that these kinds of established jobs should have multiplied rather than be eliminated. Needless to say Federal and local regulations in Frederick Maryland helped cause a negative business climate in which BP sent their jobs elsewhere. Looking at how much it costs in terms of government subsidies to create these jobs, the United States is following the example of Spain, in which for every green job created, another 2 jobs are lost in separate fields due to taxation. If the Administration was serious about green jobs then they should allow the free market to help allocate resources rather than creating a glut of solar products which lowers prices and kills jobs. Shot on location in Frederick Maryland Update: This was shot and edited well before the Oil spill in the gulf, so stop emailing us about energy theories please. We appreciate the enthusiasm but these two situations are unrelated.
