Renewable energy has robust future in much of Africa

(University of California - Berkeley) Africa's energy demand is expected to triple by 2030. A new Berkeley study shows that the continent's energy needs can be met with renewable power from wind and solar in a way that reduces reliance on undependable hydroelectric power and imported fossil fuels, while at the same time saving money and providing jobs. Good sites exist for solar and wind farms even if one avoids remote or environmentally sensitive areas.
