Solar Garden Lanterns
How will the Clinton Global Initiative help the poor people of W. Virginia?
He has 140 people from 20 countries meeting to discuss a high school curriculum to train disadvantaged rural youth to plant a vegetable garden and then show them how to sell tomatos. I could do that out of the back of my car. He has a noble prize winner consulting with him on replacing kerosene and paraffin lanterns with solar lighting devices to combat global warming. What a joke! I could reduce green house gases more than that just by walking around the block. Visa is going to teach 10 million people financial literacy. I think they will learn plenty about finances when they find themselves trapped in a debt spiral.
This whole Clinton Global Initiative seems like a scam to me. It sounds good on paper but when you look at the details there is nothing there. It seems like another way for companies to give themselves big pats on the back while claiming business travel tax deductions. Thoughts?

He will not help W.Virginia but let me tell you this:
Coal has NEVER made people from a specific region rich. It keeps people in low or average paying jobs focused on backward economic activity. The short term profit is for investors and generally the users of the energy (national and international level) while the environmental and social negative impacts are high locally.
I would abandon right now the coal industry and really do everything to attract high tech jobs. If I were there, I would gladly show your local government the way to go.
What you really need are entrepreneurs and elite technology universities with people willing to stay and improve things locally instead of fleeing to high-paying states.
