In 1992, DNES was upgraded and it started functioning as as separate Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources(MNES).
The Ministry takes care of the following specific items:
Why do we say that? Well look at some of their major achievements:
Now please let it be known that they are not the only ones going to all this trouble to use alternative means to electricity.
What can you do to play a part in making the world Green.
