Power to the planet

Hello everyone,

I'm James Saruchera, a designer and co-founder of Afrik Foundation. As the world understandably goes all in on AI, (literally the greatest opportunity this century to improve the quality of life for billions on the planet) I believe economic growth should be truly inclusive, democratic and sustainable. AI needs power, and Africa has enough renewable energy potential to power the world 8x over. We'll shortly be launching the beta version of our digital governance platform that for the first time provides a weighted vote to those closest to major renewable energy projects in Africa while at the same time providing anyone in the world with an opportunity to vote on critical projects that can transform millions of lives. We'll be launching it soon on Product Hunt and can't wait to receive your feedback and suggestions to make it better. Please feel free to reach out if what we're doing resonates. Light and life to the makers.
James
