Torn between protecting the poor and saving their budgets, governments across Asia are being forced to slash fuel subsidies as world oil prices smash through 130 dollars a barrel.
In turkey, the price for oil is 3 dollars per litter... :banghead

No, I can't believe that! Is that possible? 3 dollars? What is the reason? It seems that Turkey is closer to petroleum countries and logically the fuel must be cheaper

hmm, that makes 11.35 a gallon. It's very expensive to travel by car.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

turkey consumes the most expensive oil in the world. This is because the government imposes big taxes on in. Last year the total amount of VAT on oil, paid by a Turkish oil company, made up 26 billion euros.

Is it because Turkey cares about the environment, or it's just that the Government believes it's the most efficient way to fill up the state budget?

still, Hakan, why is the oil in Turkey so cheap.
One more thing, are you sure 80% of villages in Turkey are equipped with solar system technologies?

These devices look quite simple and not expensive. I guess they can be made by common people.

I have never seen a hand-made solar panel :-P

Governments should subsidize people to buy such devices. Yes, the expenses will be more than enough, but, instead, the future of environment will be safe.

I think governments should giveaway free solar panels, and include the costs in their budgets. This would be a really important move.
