Most important is the buy-in and commitment of the citizens. If they do not want to do it and have a vested or a monetary interest in less-green alternatives, then the project will fail. Samsø was lucky to have an islander interested enough to visit the residents and champion the project. It wouldn't have worked nearly as well if an outsider had tried to take over. But it is also important to have resources. For example, if a community is not located in an area that receives much wind, then that technology is not viable. A community in the northern latitudes or other region with little solar radiation would not find solar energy technologies feasible. And finally, the community must have the money to commit to the project. Renewable energy technologies are not cheap to build. Samsø was fortunate enough to win the contest put forth by the Danish government and also to be a prosperous community in itself.
