Tropical islands are turning their biggest challenge into their greatest strength.
Vulnerable to climate change and dependent on expensive fossil fuels, island nations are proving that carbon neutrality by 2050 is economically viable. Solar PV is leading the charge, with innovative Solar-to-X tech converting sunshine into e-fuels and e-chemicals to power hard-to-decarbonize sectors.

Small islands, big impact: the role of solar PV for the tropics
Low-cost renewables provide an opportunity for tropical islands to drive a sustainable, secure and self-sufficient economy. Solar PV emerges as the bulk energy provider, driven by excellent resource conditions and fast-improving economic attractiveness. The anticipated momentum of solar PV in tropical islands can best be characterised as a Solar-to-X Economy.

One one side i'd rather have those large corporations spend their money in the economy instead of holding cash in the bank account of their billionnaire owners.
On the other hand, it's hard to think there is anything sustainable to the amount of money spent on AI right now.
