CLEAN : Singapore builds floating solar farms in climate fight

The video discusses Singapore's efforts to adopt solar energy as a sustainable solution due to limited wind and tidal energy potential. With land scarcity, the focus shifts to utilizing water reservoirs for floating solar installations. Despite challenges like rain and clouds, solar energy could meet 10-20% of Singapore's energy needs. The video emphasizes the necessity of exploring all possible solar deployment options.
