Sonnen is one of our favorite cleantech leaders. It is great at innovation, leadership, and vision. Last month, I published a January interview with sonnen CEO and co-founder Christoph Ostermann. The good folks at The Beam went and created a transcript of it. If you can’t be bothered to watch a video but would like to read it, here you go!
Puerto Rico has been devastated.
Yesterday, I spent about an hour watching a video that was taken from the dashboard of a car driving through the Puerto Rican countryside. My friend Joseph Mangum had driven for miles through the mountains, over roads with piles of wreckage on the sides that seemed endless. Beyond the wreckage was a countryside populated by trees that had been stripped bare.
Tesla (and FEMA) have garnered most of the press for relief efforts aimed at restoring power to Puerto Rico. Certainly, Tesla and FEMA have been involved in relief action (and inaction), but they are far from the only players in the game. Others have also launched efforts to restore power to the island nation.
Sonnen launched its Puerto Rico Energy Security Initiative (PRESI) with the specific aim to restore power to a number of communities around the island nation with microgrid technology.
