Balanced News: Cuban Innovator Drives Sustainable Energy Solutions – VIDEO

HAVANA, Jan 11 (IPS) – Félix Morffi supports the energy needs of his home with the help of the sun, in some cases through handcrafted solutions that make the most of an alternative source that is abundant in Cuba, but still used very little. With two tanks, glass, aluminum sheets, as well as cinderblocks, sand and cement, the 86-year-old retiree created, in 2006, a solar heater that meets his household needs. In addition to covering his household needs, he provides the surplus electricity to the national grid, the National Electric Power System (SEN).
