"You don't realize that there are still thousands of people - in Native areas - who have no electricity. This impressive team is making an incredible impact by raising the quality of life and health in these communities. It's been transformative from a standard-of-living aspect." -Peter Levine
"The Levine Impact Lab (LIL) has made it possible for us, Native Renewables Inc., to make space to visualize and plan to actualize our dream. LIL’s mentorship and connection to networks and resources have helped us in developing a plan to install 100 off-grid solar units in a year for the Diné (Navajo) and Hopi communities."
