KOBE -- The lack of interest in solar power among residents of Kobe's Uozaki district does not discourage Mana Enomoto from giving detailed explanations of the benefits of this clean energy source.
Enomoto recently spoke before a gathering of Uozaki residents to outline a project in which solar-generated electricity is used to run electric cars used as public transport.
"Although there are many people who don't have a roof to put solar panels on, or cannot afford to buy such panels on their own, they can still create their own clean energy by investing money to purchase solar panels together with others," she said.
