Bringing Power to Villages | Years of Living Dangerously

[Music] I want this. Who drove in? In this, find out what it'll take for let's just see if we can't close this deal. [Music] Now, David Letterman is visiting a village that has no power. The number that we hear about Indians living off the grid is usually somewhere between 300 and 400 million. So while that's just about a third of this country, it's the whole population of the United States. This is how the majority of our customers live.

The old way of providing power to communities, especially like this one, doesn't really work. What we want to do is to bring affordable, clean power using our solar power plants, wire up this village, and offer each home reliable power supply for as little as $2 a month.

There are two things that we hear about all the time when it comes to electricity and how it changes people's lives at the village level: they get to stop burning dirty fuels in their home to power lights. They stop burning kerosene; they stop burning diesel. The other thing that we hear that makes a big difference is extending your productive day into the nighttime. So when the lights go out, you can still study for school.

She's studying her bachelor's degree, and before the electric light, how was that possible at night? That one light bulb was changing their lives for the better. What they gain from that will grow exponentially. Thank you so very much for letting us come to your home. Thank you very much; it does give me hope.
