Papandreou Sees Greek Revival in Green Energy on Prison Island

While Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou focuses on fixing his country’s economic crisis, his vision of the future centers on a small, remote Aegean island once used as a place of exile for political prisoners.

A year after winning power and inheriting a country mired in the red, Papandreou is turning back to an election pledge to go green. The idea is to use Greece’s sun and wind to help propel an economy that required a 110 billion-euro ($153 billion) bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund this year.
