The Kenyan government has appropriated $6.6 million to supply solar panels to rural regions that to this day still do not have electricity.
The pilot project, costing $3.6 million will allow remote communities to enjoy more modern medical care, better education tools, and entertainment.
Kenya has long been a consumer of solar powered lamps, flashlights, and even hot water heaters. The government has set a goal to be 100% dependent on renewable energy by 2012.
I think it’s somewhat awesome that pre-industrial revolution countries can leap frog past the pollution straight into renewable power. Now if we could just break our bad habit.

Great to see what so called third world countries can do, pity other governments don’t follow this example.
