Is it possible to have the same investment that was given to the tribal government also go to residents of Imperial Valley? If I am hearing correctly, $500 a year compared to millions that the tribal government received should be equaled out in my opinion. This is a great solution, but I am hoping that the profit makes sense for individuals and families in addition to organizations who will benefit greatly from.

$500 * 12,000 people = $6,000,000 - they’re getting more. It’s also a question of the revenue generated by the development - nationally-important transmission line would likely generate more funds than a big solar farm.

No doubt a great initiative. However, the problem is not only within that community that the tline might affect it, but neighboring communities as well (non stakeholders imo) Also, how is this method of financing going to spread to the global south, which is what the presentation was positioning itself as? Not sure it would apply.

It's true that we humans are very bad at thinking about climate change.

So most of this issue can be solved to many talk about how china is trying to take over the upcoming wealth countries in the south will soon make the only way is competition from all other nations not letting one nation put old fuels in these countries further polluting the world and these countries the solution is to work all nations together money in and money out should be equal investment from all developed nations into all less developed nations that investment needs to be in solar power heated and treated water through solar energy storage through heated salt capable of five hundred and sixty degree heat to power the nations we would be funding people forget there are people in poverty everywhere power is needed for everything look at any so called poor area where is there local powered hospital these people are energy poor not anything else give the power you get results
