Africa's Energy Issues

The African continent has a land area of 30.37 million sq km (11.7 million sq mi)--enough to fit in the US, China, India, Japan, Mexico and many European nations, combined. In other words it's enormous. ⁽¹⁾

The population of sub-Saharan Africa is the fastest growing in the world, expected to double by 2050. To put that in perspective, by mid-century one in four people on the planet will be in sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the significance of the African population on the global stage, and the need to connect these people to clean and reliable energy, the continent poses a significant challenge for climate goals on a global scale. ⁽²⁾

WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS IS ALL FINE AND DANDY, BUT THE QUESTIONS REMAIN, WHO WILL BUILD THE POWER PLANTS AND KEEP THEM RUNNING, WHO WILL DRILL THE OIL AND NATURAL GAS WELLS, WHO WILL EMPLACE THE PIPE LINES TO BRING THE FUEL TO POWER THOSE PLANT WHO WILL BUILD AND MAINTAIN THE REFINERIES TO PROCESS THE OIL IN FUEL, WHO WILL BUILD AND MAINTAIN THE POWER LINES, SUB STATIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES WITH A POWER INFRASTRUCTURE???? SORRY TO SAY IT WILL NOT BE AFRICANS WHO WILL DO ALL OF THE ABOVE. PEOPLE FORGET OR HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE THE HISTORY OF AFRICA, AFRICA ONLY PROGRESSED WHEN EUROPEANS CHOOSE TO COLONIZE AFRICA BRINGING RAILROADS, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, ROADS, BRIDGES, ELECTRICITY MEDICINES, NEW FARMING TECHNIQUES. YES THERE WAS BRUTALITY ESPECIALLY IN COLONIES RUN BY FRANCE, BELGUIM AND GERMANY BUT OVER ALL AFRICA WAS BROUGHT INTO THE MODERN ERA. AS THE COLONIES COLLAPSED AFTER WW2 AND MANY AFRICAN NATIONS DROVE OUT THE EUROPEANS THOSE SAME NATIONS REVERTED BACK TO TRIBAL WARFARE, POVERTY, IGNORANCE, SLAVERY AND TRIBAL DICTATORSHIPS, CORRUPTION IS RAMPANT INFASTRUCTURE FAILING RESOURCES RAIDED BY THE LIKES OF CHINA ALL THE PROGRESS MADE DURING THE RULE OF WHITE COLONIALISM HAS BEEN OVER TURNED. WHEN YOU SEE THE AFRICA OF TODAY, DO WE SEE WESTERN TYPE CITIES, HIGHWAYS, RAILROADS, MODERN HOSPITALS, ALL THE THINGS THE WESTERN NATIONS HAVE BUILT AND ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST 300 YEARS??? NO PEOPLE ARE STILL LIVING LIKE THEIR ANCESTORS OF 300 YEARS AGO. THINK ABOUT IT FOR ONCE. NUFF SAID.

Pretty soon if these globalists at the UN WEF WHO keep having their way we will if even left alive be living in the same conditions as many Africans have been forced to live in.
Just a recent example look at what France has been doing to African nations? They certainly were making a fortune off of the countries they were stealing from, placing governments that worked for France but not their own countries people now slaving for France and lucky enough to make enough money to even eat and having no energy for themselves actual slaves even their children. So now some of them have broken free and replaced their now rich traitors government working for France's wealth only and have decided they will run their own government and businesses and mines etc. and sell them themselves keeping profits for their own peoples to live. France sent more of their military there to squash them down again and called on the USA to back them up, but the people had had enough of being stolen from and being their starving slaves and Russia told France to stand down so France and the USA did. Now France is loosing these billions of dollars stolen from these countries and these countries are joining together to kick us thieves out. A better example of this is right here in our back yard Haiti is poor because they still owe France money and everyone is interfering in their politics even the money the world donated for the aftermath of their terrible earthquake never made it there to help the poor, but the world added evil foreign "gangs" to keep destroying them while they were trying to recover so it is still a big gangland of criminals but Haitians now have their own native people grouping up and trying to save their countries people and got rid of their bad "placed" governments. continued ...

Continued... There are many poor countries only poor because of bad governments. Now we here in the USA and Canada, Mexico too and many EU countries have these bad placed governments and are starting to loose all our hard work and prosperity like Africa we need to stop these too rich and greedy taking over our countries and destroying us and our countries with all their sick agendas for this UN WEF WHO and the so wrongly called "elitists"?? trying to take over the world and make all of us their slaves or dead so they can have utopia for themselves. According to them the next planned pandemic with their deadly virus "x" is about to be released, another scare tactic ? so these WEFFers can set in place more destruction with their placed leaders and make even more money stealing what is ours? like they had done to Africa? No borders, with all their human trafficking, businesses and jobs taken away collapsed health and education systems they control with lies and propaganda and their placed governments no longer our own governments, gee sound familiar, think on it.

The problem with the third world and overpopulation is simple, quit sending them aid, especially food. They are not rats, but they are LIKE rats in a cage. If you keep them fed, they overbreed. If they cannot feed themselves, by improving their standards of living, they are a dying subcontinent. Let them alone to live or die by their own hand. Just like it is the best thing to do for your children. It is your responsibility to a certain point, then you let them live or die on their own efforts. To do otherwise, creates dependency. Look to our inner cities and see what that looks like. A mirror image of sub Saharan Africa.

Africa's energy issues are Africa's problem. Not North America's, South America's, Europe's or Asia's.
