"LIFE WITHOUT LIGHTS"
Isidro Alcudia, Jr. brings donated food into his family's trailer in Pajarito Mesa, New Mexico, USA on Feb. 10, 2011. The majority of the family's food is from food stamps and donations. While residents of the Pajarito Mesa legally own their land, a bureaucratic oversight has prevented them from receiving paved roads, running water, and electricity. The lives of people on the Mesa reveal a glance into energy’s past and future: while some struggle for the fuel to run their generator for an hour or two each day, their neighbors have been able to afford solar panels, and live comfortably off the grid.
