The electricity is also generally unreliable in developing countries, so it might be just good enough.
- cool_dude85 5y agoYet, it's fairly reliable in most developed countries. So how will a developing country, well, develop, if it can't build a consistent, reliable power grid?
- checker 5y agoThe rich countries should emulate China's Belt and Road initiative, but instead of building ports and highways they should build electric grids and renewables in developing nations. Ideally without predatory balloon financing that results in sticky situations down the line.
- ThomPete 5y agoelectric grid based on renewables require fossil fuels to be both made and as backup to be reliable. Electricity is not going to solve the 80% of the energy needs, its not going to allow them to do manufacturing and agriculture at large scale either. Its the wrong approach to turn developing nations into developed nations. I know most people dont like to hear it but that is the reality.
- ThomPete 5y agoIt being unreliable is a hinderance to it's development. Furthermore you cant't even do any of this without heavy use of fossil fuel.
