Israeli physicists supply solar and wind power to Palestinian herders
Electricity cables run above their homes and nearby pylons supply the Israeli settlement with power, but the Palestinian farmers and their families have been denied access to electricity, running water and other infrastructure.
The villagers have been denied use of the settlers-only bypass road, and prevented from accessing much of their farm and grazing land except for a few days a year in coordination with the Israeli military. This land has been appropriated by the settlers.
Israeli physicist Elad Orian together with fellow physicist Noam Dotan, both pro-peace activists and founders of Comet-ME, have spent the last two years installing a high-grid wind and solar system free of charge in Susya.
