Mike de Meza, Minister of Finance, Energy & Communication, has reported that in the Caribbean region and throughout Europe and in other parts of the world, Aruba is receiving a great deal of attention for our efforts and labor in the area of alternative energy. For decades we have made use of fuel oil, but now Aruba is working diligently to move away from the conventional system to a more sustainable system.
This, the Minister claims, will reduce our dependence on fuel oil. Another project sited by de Meza is the water reverse osmosis system. One of the most important ingredients for life worldwide is water. And, changing from one system to another will guarantee that we will continue to have clean and quality drinking water for every citizen here.
From The Arikok National Park the water tank there is visible. Along with water, fresh clean air is also very important. Here in Aruba, we are intent on providing the best for our people. The change from one system to another more modern and cost efficient system being conducted by WEB today is not something we can accomplish in a matter of days. But we are moving ahead ra-pidly, reports de Meza.
The Minister invited everyone to attend the upcoming Green Aruba Conference. Here a host of information will be shared regarding some of the most recent developments in the field of alternative energy and how countries are moving into the Green arena for a cleaner environment and more cost efficient operations.
De Mezas also remarked that the TNO Delft University would be playing a major role in the future development of Aruba as a Green island.
