Electricity poverty, or lack of access to reliable electricity, remains one of the biggest barriers to human development. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without electricity, communities face limited education (no lights for studying), healthcare (no refrigeration for vaccines), economic opportunities (no powered tools or businesses), and overall quality of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s disheartening that the wealthier country governments have chosen electricity generation \u201cwinners\u201d, i.e., wind and solar, to generate electricity, paid with taxpayer funds, to support government mandates and subsidies. These actions are unethical to the entire population of 8 billion on this planet and an insult to the taxpayers in those wealthy countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than pursuing the most reliable sources of electricity generation that are also continuous and uninterruptible, like nuclear, hydro, coal, or natural gas, wealthier countries are pursuing, with taxpayer dollars, the least reliable source of electricity generation that is also NOT continuous nor reliable, via weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels. Obviously, wealthier countries are pursuing the MOST expensive ways to generate electricity, while those in poverty don\u2019t have enough money to subsidize themselves out of a paper bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In pursuit of net zero emissions, Western governments have committed to shuttering reliable fossil plants that are absolutely required to back up wind and solar. If these shutdowns continue as planned, blackouts, grid failure, and severe damage could result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western world has spent trillions of dollars on unreliable wind and solar to replace reliable sources of electricity. Wind and solar still produce less than 10% of the world\u2019s electricity. They plan to commit trillions more attempting to eliminate fossil fuels. This is impossible because wind and solar are unreliable and can ONLY generate electricity but cannot replace the 6,000 products and transportation fuels based on fossil fuels. These wasted trillions of dollars could be used to save millions of lives and to pull billions of poor people out of energy poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world can be divided into wealthy countries and poor countries; those with reliable electricity and those without. Modern societies depend on electricity. To comprehend this, imagine your life after a sudden loss of electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
