USAID Launches $29 Million Project to Deliver Reliable Energy across Lebanon
Uncle Sugar’s been tossing around money like budgets don’t matter.
[AnNahar] The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will "provide up to $29 million to deliver reliable energy across all regions of Leb
...In 2006 unknown persons blew up Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, the car he was traveling in, the road he was traveling on, and a few innocent bystanders of no account whatsoever. The person or persons unknow weren't Hezbollah, you can bet on that. Really. Even though there was an international tribunal that said it was them...
," the U.S. Embassy said on Wednesday.

The Embassy added in a statement that USAID has awarded a contract to IMC Worldwide, Inc. to implement the Innovation for Affordable and Renewable Energy for All (INARA) Activity under the Initiative to Deliver Essential Assistance and Services (IDEAS) Project that is designed to provide up to $29 million to deliver reliable energy across all regions of Lebanon.

"The USAID is seeking to increase the supply of electricity generation at the community level and to increase the cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, sustainability, and reliability of power supply, while clarifying and strengthening the enabling environment for renewable energy-based electrical power generation," the Embassy said.

"We are excited to introduce this new project, which will target all regions of Lebanon and improve the delivery of basic services," Eileen Devitt, USAID Mission Director, affirmed.

"We believe that projects like this are important to energize communities to seek out affordable, sustainable, local solutions to challenges they face every day," Devitt added.

Since 2012, USAID has implemented more than 15 green energy
... the attempt to produce energy without using fossil fuel. The preferred methods are solar, wind, geothermal, phlogiston, philosophers' stones, and rattling bears' teeth. The approach with the most promise involves attaching generators to perpetual motion machines, but using Words of Power to summon energy-rich demons may also work. The green in the term refers to the vast number of dollars that have been thrown at the problem since 1973 with indifferent results...
solutions to keep homes and businesses lit, reduce fuel consumption by 30 percent, and minimize pollution for nearly one million people.

More than 20 projects are still being implemented across Lebanon to provide backup electricity and access to water.

#5 An el lined with beaucoup barbed wire,
The train ran from Cairo to Tyre
For our neighbors to use
While enjoying the views,
And we called it the Green Ghetto Flyer.

For 'tis but a short step from envy to aspiration, and thence to cooperation, prosperity, and peace, glorious lasting peace, throughout the Middle East!
