I believe the whole concept is viable. A quick look at Australia and their government funding into clean energy certainly tells a lot how clean energy can be implemented without problems. For Singapore, I believe the clear cut solution would be solar. In fact, I still believe it is possible to construct offshore solar farms, although I have no idea why nobody's doing it. Perhaps due to technical reason?

But in terms of technology , we certainly won't be seeing any in SG in the near future since govt support and overfocus on its finance has already caused singapore to be light years behind in terms of solar development. you can BUY them off but i reckon without the specialist in it, not much can be done.

I also strongly believe in the whole funding and everything is just a fad. Singapore is getting too pragmatic and abandoning its manufacturing sectors already. I still think that students shld if unfortunately born like me inclined towards engineering get ready to erase all the knowledge and relearn after grad to find a better job.
