For all of you that didn’t knew, actor Johnny Depp owns a private island in the Caribbean for which he paid some $3 million. It was his dream since childhood, based on the whole Robinson Crusoe thing. But why would this be of any interest for us?

Johnny Deep and his private island

The star from the Pirates of the Caribbean is going to convert his 35-acre island (which he calls the”F*ck Off Island”) in the Bahamas, to run on solar hydrogen technology. In a recent interview to the Guardian, he said that the late Marlon Brando (famous for his Tahitian paradise) influenced him to take the decision.

Depp said, ‘Hey, man, I found this thing, this island!’ Brando said, ‘Well, what’s the elevation? Do you have a water system there? What about the electricity?’

Depp is waiting in line to get his grid-independent solar hydrogen system from Mike Strizki (really smart guy), the inventor who built the first solar-hydrogen house in the country. The star will have to pay from $250,000 to $500,000 depending on the size of the house, but since he owns an island, I don’t money are a problem.

Good job Johnny for your unlimited, clean energy solution.
