Change of Direction

It has come to my attention that trying to inspire Lebanese to rise up and join the Arab spring revolution is as impossible as trying to float a concrete slab on water. So in regards to this revelation, we here in Light Lebanon have decided to take a different direction. Rather trying to inspire protest, we have decided to start a charity foundation to fund the installation of solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric turbines in rural villages in Lebanon.

The Light Lebanon Foundation has now 3 main goals to achieve:



  • Decrease the electrical bill by at least 30 percent.
  • Increase the hours of the government’s electricity available to the public.
  • Set the foundation for future construction of Green Energy.

The plan for the Light Lebanon Foundation to achieve these goals is to install solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric turbines in rural villages in Lebanon where electrical consumption is significantly lower than urban and suburban areas in Lebanon. By doing so, rural villages will be off the national grid which will lessen the demand allowing EDL to increase the hours of the government electricity available to the public and/or decrease the electrical bill.
Also in an effort not to politicize the foundation, donations and sponsorships from politicians or people representing a political party will not be accepted.
The Light Lebanon Foundation is no means a solution to Lebanon’s chronic electric crisis, rather a catalyst to any solution that the government has in motion.

As for the general structure and how will funds will be processed is as follow:

Light Lebanon Solar Intiative

Lebanon is facing a crisis! An electrical crisis!!

A crises that have held Lebanese hostages since the 1990's

Imagine! From the time when chunky phones were the norm; we Lebanese still do not have 24 hours electricity!

Why?
Who?
How?
Well, who cares about the why, the who, and the how! 
The only thing we care about is:

Hot water!
Air Conditioning!
Working Elevator!!!

The government has a plan but there plan make us oil dependent!
Meaning, we will be completely under control from oil rich countries! More than we are right now!!

What is the solution?
Strikes? NO
Protest? NO
Sit ins? GOD NO

The solution is Light Lebanon Solar Initiative or LLSI!

LLSI will be setting the foundation for Lebanon to be oil independent and help in providing 24 hours electricity.

So the initiative is simple! Install more solar panels on a house with a maximum of 5 stories and the more buildings that uses solar panels will soon add up and become one large electrical plant!

That is thanks to Solar panel technology has become so advance (and still advancing) that they are now piratical enough to install on Lebanese rooftops and be productive!

I am not going to ask you to like our Facebook page, stage a mass rally, or donate to our cause.

But you can show your support for LLSI by hanging a Lebanese flag with a white ribbon from your window.

And together we will pressure the government to include LLSI in their plan for a greener and cleaner Lebanon.
