Hugh Whalan is bringing clean energy solutions to the developing world. The problem is not that there aren't enough innovative products to aid the poor, says Whalan.

Impact Energies was founded to combat these challenges by pairing microfinance with a new model to coordinate product distribution from factories to villages in West Africa.
