Mathias Craig - blueEnergy

Filed Under:
mathias craigMathias Craig launched blueEnergy to provide a low-cost, sustainable solution to the energy needs of marginalized communities through the construction of wind turbines and the installation (and maintenance!) of hybrid wind and solar electric systems.

Watch Mathias Craig as he tells Global X how he felt (not too good!) the day he came back to Nicaragua only to realize that the community was using electricity to watch Mexican telenovellas (soap operas).

That is, until his brother walked by the school...




Mathias Craig, Américain par son père et Français par sa mère, a lancé blueEnergy pour fournir de l'électricité à un coût très bas aux communautés rurales d'Amérique du Sud. Il fabrique donc des éoliennes et les lie à des panneaux solaires.

Il explique à Global X qu'il était très déçu lorsqu'il s'est aperçu que les paysans utilisaient leur installation électrique seulement pour regarder des feuilletons mexicains à la télévision.

Jusqu'au moment où son frère est passé devant l'école du village...


congratulations

Mathias, congratulations for the project. I agree with you that in ten years we will have a lot of organizations like blueEnergy. It is the moment to change the bad way of social behavior and you are proving that it is possible! Dioney

well deserved

Mathias I wanted to congratulate you for contributing to L.A. communities ... I am from Ecuador, and I heard your story in CNN.. It would be interesting to develop something similar here. I would like to email with you if possible, hidalgo.diana@yahoo.com
