Sustainable Energy in the Developing World

WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Sustainable Energy in the Developing World:

Nice intro to the issues raising some of the things that we tend not to know, eg:

"more rural people in Kenya get electricity from PV than the grid but there's no coordination between the grid and the distribution of PV"

So, as you can see, more than a one-dimensional view.



And again: "The crucial problem is less reading light and a radio/TV/computer than a safe, efficient, and non-polluting stove. If we can do that, some space heating (or a hearth) would be nice."

-It's easy to forget that solutions have to be based on what people need not what we think would be nice.
