South Korea’s president, Lee Myung-bak, has promised to make major alternative energy progress by 2015. The country’s ambitious plans include a tidal power plant that officials say will be the world’s largest.
The Korean green plan emerges as environmental delegations from around the globe hold meetings to discuss a new climate agreement to be ratified by the end of the year in Copenhagen — replacing the Kyoto Protocol due to expire in 2012.

Well, Kudos on South Korea as me thinx it’s the spirit of South Koreans that may lead to many, many break-throughs in years to come as they are not deterred by “politicking” when it comes to innovation. Recently Korea admitted cell phones could be tapped when it was, well, “under the blanket” so to speak. Now, Korea is said to have come out with the first cell phone that can’t be tapped. Again, I like the Korean spirit that just keeps moving forward. Perhaps one day you’ll read that it was a Korean that cured the common cold.
