Hoping to wake up in a world where every African state is a net exporter of electricity
The Sahel alone can provide enough electricity from solar to power the entire Earth.
I didn't do the math and I didn't verify it, but I did read it somewhere, and the original source said Libya which isn't a Sahel country but I assume it is true for the Sahel as well.
I sure hope foreign powers (ruZZian sharks) don't cut my giant gigajoule power-line at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. /s
The replies on the Wired article are wild. They assume African governments are amateurs. Always going for that "at what cost" angle.
everybody who isn't white is a primitive savage didn't you know
at what cost
I assume that Solar Panels made in China cost less than by the Yankees. They couldn't compete.
