most people in the west ie US and western europe if they haven't travelled to africa etc and other '3rd world countries' miss the solar revolution.

what china has done is massive - cheap solar panels & batteries - means a lot of places that never had grid connections suddenly have power 24/7 for cheap. with electric cars / hybrid cars from china - means even transportation is now cheap too. some places even have those electric mopeds too.

nothing beats free energy from the sun.
