Wow!!! I am so proud of Kenya's energy sustainability road map. It's
amazing how a country with limited resources has taken giant steps
surpassing the so-called "global North". Wait till you see how much fossil
fuel the country uses, and the declining reliance on oil.
This country is also investing big time in wind power. A proposed nearly
USD 1 billion and feasibility studies already done.
Solar power is becoming big as well and plans underway to invest in it.
As a developing country, the reliance on biomass (wood and charcoal) is
inevitably still a major source of energy in the rural Kenya, but the
ongoing rural electrification project will transform the rural, while
reforestation and agroforestry will act as environmental remediation,
carbon sinks and restore wildlife habitat.
Energy sustainability will increase Kenya’s energy security and mitigate
susceptibility to world energy crisis. It will also be an opportunity to
export extra MW to neighbouring countries, sell the technology and create
prospects for government's carbon trading. Well.... I could go on and on
exploring the zero emissions and socioeconomic benefits and more. For now I
say
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION KENYA!!
