Appropriate Technology: Solar Powering Hospitals, Orphanages & Schools
Under normal conditions only about 30% of the entire country of Haiti has physical connection or access to the electricity grid. Electrical engineer Brian Thomas and environmental engineer Kayla Garrett work for a small nonprofit called JustEnergy, which works in northern Haiti creating solar energy systems to power hospitals, clinics, schools, and orphanages to combat this lack of access to the electrical grid. They continue their discussion with host Robert J. Marks about energy availability in Haiti.
