I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

Why not put solar farms in places already disturbed that aren’t being used otherwise—especially defunct open-pit mines w/ their roads & grid connections? New global study finds 61.8K mines that together cover 47.9K km2, enough for 4,764 TWh/yr of solar.
