Thank you for the post.
Am I correct t...Kimbowa,<br /><br />Thank you for the post. <br /><br />Am I correct that some of this power supply issue is government created due to non-payment to electricity generators? If so, there must be some motive. Is it purely financial, or are there political issues involved?<br /><br />Are there plausible substitutes for charcoal and wood? I contended in one of my own blog posts that some of the popular social causes - such as green - are not going to resonate with people until they have basic needs taken care of. <br /><br />Is there synthetic version of charcoal? Can we make pellets out of hay stalks or corn stalks? Don't the Scottish burn cow dung to flavor their whiskey? None of these would help pollution but would help deforestation, under a one step at a time approach?David Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415644204743030961noreply@blogger.com
