In many parts of the Amazon rainforest, there are no roads, so the diesel needed to run those generators needs to be brought in by boat. In all, there are about 160 local thermal plants and thousands of generators scattered around the rainforest. Brazil’s government spends roughly $2.4 billion in subsidies per year to support this system, according to the country’s National Electric Energy Agency.
