South Korea’s Q Cells is a world leader in the alternative energy field. They are to be acknowledged for the graceful and biomimetic Floating PhotoVoltaics (FPV) design currently under construction on Hapcheong reservoir in South Korea. The design is inspired by the plum blossom—the symbolic flower of the region! The project exceeds local energy demand and demonstrates several principals of solid ecological engineering.

Impaired freshwater releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

Clean water or gunky water - it's a choice and inaction has serious consequences, such as increased methane emissions.

Stretching out on a chaise longue, listening to the gentle lap of waves as the sun sets in the west. Idle dreams after a day spent on clear, delicious water. Oh yes, and a fish fry for dinner.

Or—cleaning off the green gunk that chokes the prop of a motorboat while swatting at mosquitoes and rushing to escape into a screened off porch! Holding one’s breath so as not to inhale biogas so concentrated that ignition seems possible. Not the relatively neutral carbon dioxide associated with a swamp, but actual methane!
