The article suggests that the situation in Pampa Clemesí is a reflection of the uneven distribution of the benefits of renewable energy projects, particularly in underserved communities. It raises questions about the equitable access to electricity and the challenges of ensuring that the development of large-scale renewable energy facilities directly benefits the local population. The article emphasizes the disconnect between the progress made in renewable energy generation and the persistent lack of basic infrastructure and services in some communities, highlighting the need for more inclusive and comprehensive energy policies that prioritize the needs of all citizens.
