solar electricity in pakistan

They say that in traditional cultures of Proverbs: "The blind need a basket Eye. "Meaning, a needy person needs help in any way possible. The poor nations have millions of slums without electricity, water and usable land to survive. And other districts that lack of management of the utilization of these resources. In this article, I have two billionaires, that is, Bill Gates, and al-Walid bin Talal [others are not excluded] to give attention to this idea: in short, the electrification of poor countries, where poor families have no generators, and live in the candles, kerosene lamps and firewood. And where energy poverty is a small piece of the pie of poverty, probably about 5% when measured by annual expenditure of the poor in their most pressing needs.

While the rich landowners and big business in Africa, Asia and Latin America seem to get most of their electricity from generators or build their own power plants, millions of poor communities around the world does not have even the slightest power of electricity. In much of Africa, for example, blackouts force stores to close early, schools to suspend classes, and hospitals to refuse patients. In India and Nigeria, one of the many obstacles to generating more energy than the protests that often since construction power plants and hydroelectric dams to protect local communities from government land takeovers of companies and the potential global environmental risks by environmental groups. In Pakistan, massive energy shortages are the result of years of neglect, are obsolete power plants, electricity increasingly being kidnapped from power lines by the common people and the government is often too concerned about security threats.

Many countries American and Asian countries want to avoid the legally binding limits on emissions of greenhouse gases, global warming. Even though the emissions are much lower than the developed world and that those limits may hinder their efforts to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. despite economic growth inevitably expand the footprints of nations carbon, more than the poor have access to electricity, water supply, air conditioners, refrigerators and automobiles. In South Africa, so demand outstrips supply in late 2007 that a state energy company, began rationing, plunging cities into darkness occasional and causing temporary closures in one of the most important mining areas of the world where gold mine production and send platinum prices to record levels. But that benefit from gold and platinum? Of course, not the poor!

While some environmentalists interested in seeing an opportunity for Asian and African countries to take the lead in developing renewable energy technologies like solar and wind, without passing through Western models mainly based energy on coal and oil rich countries like the U.S. and Europe have had the energy they need to grow and develop. Poor countries, however, burns billion ($ 38B) each year on kerosene lighting, and use of disposable batteries. This means that nearly half of all developing country aid rich spoils of no return.

What I'm asking for is a noble humanitarian cause, to establish independent nonprofit to nonprofit companies supported billionaires in the world by initiating projects to help millions of individuals to have access to clean, efficient electricity directed by intelligence and generosity of the two Men Gates and Al-Waleed, I think his advisors can explain this idea more so they can contribute in reducing poverty through the electrification of communities poor. Especially with the advent of white LED lighting, which requires less than 1 watt of power to produce useful light, where the entry point for electricity is is making it possible in many developing countries where the blind has a basket full of eyes at last, as they say.
