Philippine School Kicks Off Renewable Energy Campaign
One high school in Manila is going green and educating youth about renewable energy. Sitero Francisco National High School is the first school in metropolitan Manila to use solar energy.
[Jameson Tan, Science Dept. Head, Sitero Francisco Nat'l High School]: (English)
“We intend to inspire the Filipinos on thinking of possible ways of reducing carbon emission, on contributing to the reduction of greenhouse effect, and also to think of possible solutions that might trigger economic development on aspects of renewable energy.”
The renewable energy program supplements the school’s science curriculum.
[Cesar Villareal, Principal, Sitero Francisco Nat'l High School]: (male, Filipino)
"If it's only in theory, it will be hard to imagine how it works. But if they see solar energy used in everyday life, they will be more interested. And aside from that, they could come up with more ideas and expand their knowledge."
With direct sunlight, the panels can generate up to 8 kilowatts an hour per day, storing them in batteries that can power light bulbs in a three-story building.
Students are beginning to appreciate solar power.
[Julia Naguit, Student]: (female, Filipino)
"We're able to help the environment, because if we use the power coming from the regular grid, this uses fuel and this aggravates the warming of the atmosphere."
The school partnered with the U.S.-based Foundation for Environmental Education, which helped secure a donation of six solar panels from a Chinese firm.
The school also expects its electricity bill to be cut in half.
Solar energy is not new in the Philippines, but panels are still too costly for home use.

Taiwan's Renewable Energy Electric Car
Driving full speed through the bustling streets of Taipei, this car doesn't need gas or even an electric plug-in. Here's a look at the "Salamander."
Whizzing around Taipai city this car features a fully recyclable energy solution.
Known as the "Salamander," the car operates on zinc oxygen energy fuel cells.
Also known as ZOE, the fuel cell generates electricity through the metal's oxidation process.
It can be recycled by using sun power to return the oxidized zinc back to the original metal form.
Andrew Huang is the CEO of Advanced Power and Energy Sources… the company developing the technology.
[Andrew Huang, CEO, Advanced Power and Energy]: English
"So, looking at two sides of the board, it's like ying and yang, you breathe with air to generate electricity, you use a lot of solar energy to bring the reduced zinc oxide back to zinc -- it is Taichi, it's a full circle, that is always rotating, always sustaining."
Huang says zinc's ready availability and low cost of production make it ideal as a mass marketable source of alternative energy. He says his company is ready.
[Andrew Huang, CEO, Advanced Power and Energy]: English
"Our future scope is to establish metal fuel economy. To use such energy source to replace majority of our energy consumptions, as well as to utilize such energy to build a world that's in time to save our future generation's survivability."
288 of these little cells provide enough power for the lightweight vehicle to reach speeds well over 200 miles per hour.
Of course, 80 miles per hour is the design speed and combined with brisk acceleration makes it nimble enough to function well in modern traffic.
