Ramea
Ramea is a small island village in Southern Newfoundland, with a population of 618. In 2004, Ramea was chosen as a wind-diesel generation project.
Get in
Ramea is accessible via the Provincial Ferry Service, from either Burgeo or Grey River.
Get around
The Ferry from Burgeo to Ramea is capable of carrying vehicles, and there are roads in Ramea for cars. The relatively small size (1.89 km2) of the town, however, means that any destination is within walking distance.

gollark: My *old* phone had a removable plastic back panel so you could swap the battery. My new one is metal backed and I don't know if you can access the battery or replace the screen at all.
gollark: It annoys me that phones are significantly harder to repair than they have to be.
gollark: Ideally a Nokia-durability one, but to be fair that's probably not practical with smartphones.
gollark: Plastic is superior.
