Getting power to developing nations

Earlier this week I met with some very interesting people. I just can’t get that meeting out of my head.

I learned a lot about the realities of electricity in developing third world nations. It’s not just that electricity is expensive. It’s simply not available - period.

So what is the best way to get power to these people?

Thats the question. There are smart people working on this one. It’s going to take a lot of work and money and time.

But its well worth it.  

There are some highly capital efficient models that seem to hold a lot of promise. That makes me quite optimistic for people like us to help fund these efforts.

I’m looking forward to learning more.
