After Hurricane Sandy ripped through New England, there has been much talk of finally beginning the switch to renewable resources for powering the USA. Being the market economy that the United States is, the only way a switch like this would ever happen is if it was a profitable maneuver, and social enterprises may be the answer environmentalists have long been looking for.
In Nepal, the USA based Empower Generation leads to suppliers of power to use solar energy as a green way to supply Nepalese with electricity. This has allowed suppliers to get off the power grid and develop profits through renewable resources. If this enterprise was to break into the USA market, maybe they would be able to start the switch from fossil fuel based energy to renewable, sustainable power for America.
A transition like this will not happen overnight, and it will likely be many years before the USA even begins to have a majority of their energy coming from sustainable means, but nonetheless if something like this is to occur it will be from social enterprise yielding a high enough profit margin to warrant the switch. If social enterprises can make the clean, green energy happen, maybe we will start to see a change in the way of the energy based world, and storms like Sandy will stop being blamed on global warming from harmful emissions we are doing nothing about.
