Wowsers wrong.
Why are you trying to test both the motor AND the battery at the same time?
Test one, then the other. Isolate the variables; change as little as possible at a time to test your hypothesis, which in this case is: Just giving people guaranteed money for a long time is the best way to help them.
Thing I'd be most worried about is protecting those communities from other violent people and/or mad influx of people trying to join those communities. Island cultures might be better - more isolated.
PS - I did think of an answer to "why not cash?" but it's something that's also addressable: Bulk purchasing advantage. AFAIK, it's more cost-efficient to feed 1000 people all at once than one at a time.
