If they really wanted to, Canada could get together with the Philippines and they could build a simple 10MW power plant in a year... that could be used to provide desalinated water, power electricity for bathhouses and laundry, cooking, heat... the cost would break down to 4 to 7 cents for a group of 1000 people, see the cost break down... and your telling me they couldn't do this... in an "emergency"... TPC needs the PR, they are obviously "dying" for customers... This is practical, super ultra cost effective, absolutely needed... and one of the first things that is needed in an emergency after immediate water, food and medical... is ENERGY....

Thorium Power Canada Inc. offers a clean, green, safe and cost effective solution to the growing global energy requirements. - Reactor has been in research & development since 1970. Due to the United States government opting for uranium over thorium as a nuclear fuel (due to the cold war and weapons grade plutonium waste), many Thorium based projects were halted. Since then, the development of the TPC Thorium Reactor has continued and the company now has a construction ready thorium reactor based on a unique proprietary technology that is extremely scalable and offers an energy option at per kW-hr prices in the estimated 4 to 7 cent range, well below many of the common technologies used today. The TPC Thorium reactor can be built on a modular basis as small as 10MW in size with the option to upscale a facility to 100MW by linking the modular reactors together. - See more at: http://www.thoriumpowercanada.com/#sthash.CAR3h6lW.dpuf
They are already building one in Chile RIGHT NOW! (for water desalination)
It would cost 20 millions dollars... (2million/ KW) You think the Philippine and US and Canadian Governments couldn't afford 20 million dollars that would give the People energy for the next 50 years at a cost of less then 4 cents/kwh (since the government would pick up the infrastructure cost...) and take 18 to 24 months?????????

Where would Haiti be today if they had built one there? Everyone would have a place to wash, clean and cook and a never ending source of fresh water or at least enough energy to build and power infrastructure for a training center and a manufacturing plant... Oh, I keep forgetting I must be such a genius and this is just way, way too complex a subject for hundreds and thousand of government agents to figure out... oh silly me.... (NOT!)
