Personally I reckon its a no brainer - POWER LEDGER has the potential to bring electricity to hundreds of thousands if not millions of people in places where power is yet to reach - in ways that are clean & cheap - and who knows what genius will be uncovered in those yet to be unlocked repositories of potential human brilliance..
oh & yeah as the 'Airbnb of Electricity' Power giving all the - first world citizens slowly losing their jobs to robots - an extra income stream = will also be good and no doubt extremely popular
We must pay tribute to the POWER LEDGER team. They set an example for other companies to work with the press and the community.
