Thanks so much for posting on this! I am currently at McMurdo Station, Antarctica- one of the American research stations. I have been bemoaning the fact that we are so fossil-fuel dependent here! Every year ten million gallons of fuel is delivered to us via ship. It really makes sense to have efficient, sustainable systems in place down here- less dependancy on outside sources!

It is good to hear that people are taking the environment seriously. The building pictured above looks great and should serve as a good example of what we are capable of. The use of wind power is a good idea, it works day or night. We need more wind power turbines in suitable places to help ease the dependence on coal.
Good article, lets see more buildings use similar ideas in reducing carbon emissions. Thanks.

I was beginning to wonder when our little project might pop up on the international radar. But knowing Belgian politics, I wonder if the project will survive until the next administration.

This is a truly remarkable step! Without being harm to the Antartica environment the research station would help enhance the research activities being conducted in the region.
