That Africa has minimal solar generation and structural power shortages despite great solar resource is a massive failure of the intl development community.

As #COP28 approaches, the need for energy equity becomes greater. 🔋 RF's @toeydayal, @ODI_Global's @aherscowitz, @energyforgrowth's @toddjmoss call for a new Modern Energy Minimum to bring sustainable energy to all. Read more @wef 👇 weforum.org/agenda/2023/11/c…

At #COP28, world leaders must commit to a new Modern Energy Minimum of 1,000 kilowatt-hours per person per year.
By delivering a minimum level of #energy, those without can enjoy improved livelihoods and greater economic opportunity.

[Correct link] A Turkish company whose power ships recently switched off the electricity in Freetown and Bissau told me it's in talks with six African countries to expand. Critics say it's a short term fix after underinvestment. semafor.com/article/11/07/20… - via

Everyone on the planet deserves abundant energy. Higher energy consumption can – and must – co-exist with achieving climate goals.

We won’t end poverty without ending energy poverty so we must committ to a #modernenergyminimum that makes abundant clean power available for over 3bn people #COP28 @RockefellerFdn @EnergyAlliance @toddjmoss @aherscowitz weforum.org/agenda/2023/11/c…

I have a New York Times piece this morning reporting on new data that show border crossers have been more likely to be deported under Biden than Trump. It has won him no concessions. He'll be the "Open Borders" pres, regardless. So time for a new approach: legalize immigration.

When are “best practices” best left behind?@FSIStanford's @mthurber explains the limitations of using best practices for regulatory designs in emerging energy markets: buff.ly/48PB2Lf
I’m taking bets on this announcement.
How does @BBCAfrica report this ridiculousness without even a hint of skepticism?
Burkina Faso signed a deal with Russia to build a nuclear power plant to increase electricity supplies. The nation is one of the least electrified countries globally, with only 21% of people connected to power. bbc.in/3rOzj8y

Energy systems modeling can help assess potential pathways to net zero emissions. But much of the research on African countries is deeply flawed.

I think everyone has an "opinion" about Africa's choices in its energy mix because it's easier to bully Africans. Why else would they focus their attention away from India and China? India's coal use is up 83% boss, 83%!. India is doing what it thinks is best for Indians.

Excellent piece by @wang_seaver and @vijramachandran! There cannot be green growth if there's no growth in the first place.

A fantastic talk about how improving human wellbeing and sustainability can—and must—be achieved simultaneously.
My @TEDTalks is now online.
I argue that we have the opportunity to build a world where we can all live well, and tackle our environmental problems at the same time.
This is possible, but not inevitable. We have to push to make that a reality.
