Bringing Renewable Energy to Chile

I mentioned in an earlier post that an extremely committed and professional in Chile is working hard to get the 2GreenEnergy consulting team in front of the Chilean Department of Energy, to lay out a comprehensive, practical, and affordable plan to migrate to renewable energy. 

I wrote my contact yesterday to suggest that he watch US DoE Secretary Steven Chu’s live webcast yesterday, from which he noted:

Nice broadcast by Dr. Chu yesterday, thanks for the tip. There have been some other signals, for instance: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9L077KG0.htm

I replied:

Wow, this really is getting some high-level review, isn’t it? 

Btw, regardless of what happens here with 2GreenEnergy and the Chilean government, you should take some level of personal credit for bringing this about.  In my experience, it’s the result of people like you, clamoring for govement to do the right thing, that creates change.  My hat’s off to you.

And what a coincidence that you’re from Chile, a land that hosted one of the most grievous examples of this phenomenon in the last half century.  If we Americans had rallied with enough rancor to force our government to withdraw its support of the Pinochet regime of the 1970s, a great number of innocent lives would have been spared.
