Chose installers that support local economy impact through the hiring of county residents

There are three main barriers that keep people from adopting solar: cost, red-tape, and customer inaction. The most important truth remains--Solar panels are a smart energy solution of the future that reduces the risks we face from increasing power prices and cuts our reliance on fossil fuels – over 35% of Blaine County’s electricity mix comes from out of state coal fired power plants. The limited-time nonprofit initiative reduced the three barriers listed above. RePower cut costs by relieving customer acquisition costs for installers. Red-tape and momentum barriers were addressed by vetting installers for the customer; setting up educational workshops to explain the technologies, incentives, and financing options; and creating limited-time campaigns to get people to act fast.

Electric Vehicle Group Purchase Program

There is hesitancy for both individuals and businesses to make the switch to electric vehicles due to lack of EV education and not enough financial incentive. It was important to start an electric vehicle initiative in the area, especially as Idaho’s transportation sector has the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions in the state. Electric vehicles (EVs) directly reduce these emissions – especially when paired with renewables energy sources like solar.

By 2030 5 billion people will need housing, infrastructure, services, food, healthcare, education, decent jobs and natural resources, with growing threats to society from climate change, water/food insecurity and ecological destruction. There is consensus among UN agencies and national governments to tackle these challenges and sufficient investment capital is available but not released due to lack of city region capacity and investment mechanisms. Computing and communications technology, geospatial data volumes and modelling skills have now improved significantly to enable integrated planning & investment decision making at the city community level to release this capital into the right projects. Our 2030 Roadmap action plan shows how $100 million core funding can create open-source software tools and facilitate release of $3.5 trillion/year of risk informed capital into city regions to enable 5 billion people by 2030 to live safe, healthy, productive, prosperous, fulfilling lives.

Road crossings serving as sand dams

Globally, the annual investment in road infrastructure is $1-2 trillion with 40% in developing countries and 70,000 kilometers of new road being constructed in Sub-Saharan Africa alone, in addition to considerable rehabilitation and maintenance on existing roads. With relatively small or zero additional investment, roads can add value by helping to harvest water, improving flood resilience, and even contributing to the control of sand dune formation.
