Reminder: While U.S. is arresting adults and abusing kids from Central America, China is pledging to invest $38 Billion to rebuild SA power grid, incl new #solar, #wind generation - goo.gl/uTx2VV #climatechange 
Money quote: "We can install a (transmission line) that can send (#solar and #wind power) where it needs to go. We could even send it all the way to the U.S." goo.gl/uTx2VV - #renewables
Ironically, this was precisely the strategy of "Connect the Americas 2022" program launched by Secy State @HillaryClinton under @BarackObama in 2012 - goo.gl/A9htzY - #climatechange #RenewableEnergy
Aimed at "universal access to electricity by the year 2022" the project's goal was linking electrical #grids throughout the hemisphere from Canada all the way down to the southern tip of Chile - goo.gl/4aBfYz - #supergrid #HVDC
Time will tell which strategy succeeds -- armed intimidation or improving quality of life -- but China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative looks more like "a world that works for everyone" -- a goal the U.S. historically supported - goo.gl/WruwyS - #OBOR --END/
