When my Internet browsing habit presents me with a tagline, I seldom look the gift horse in the mouth.

quote The island of Jeju, a laid-back tourist getaway 60 miles off the southern coast South Korea's mainland, is becoming known for smart city and green energy projects that are leading the way in the high-tech nation. "Jeju's smart city infrastructure, experience, and achievements are ahead of any other Korean city," Gov. Won Hee-ryong said in a recent interview with UPI and other media. "As [South] Korea's testbed for trying out new policies and pilot projects, Jeju is much like a smart city research center." While South Korea as a whole has lagged other developed nations in terms of green energy, Jeju began to plan a decade ago to become carbon neutral by 2030, and it tops the country in renewable energy use, driven by the nation's first offshore wind farm and ample solar capacity.

So it begins.

"Jeju, South Korea's island paradise, also is a high-tech testbed"
