A good example of your last point. This is all pointing in a positive direction.

Eyeballing a trend suggests that China is gradually overtaking the US?

Access to energy, something most people take almost entirely for granted.

According to estimates by the @iea.org, around 750 million people lack access to electricity, the vast majority in Sub-Saharan African countries.

Kudos to @mliebreich.bsky.social for gripping this particular challenge and securing a solution. We need more champions like Micheal to corral international finance and combine with practical and accessible clean tech to end the lack of access to electricity faced by 100s of millions of people.

Bluesky is probably at a similar level of maturity to twitter 15-20 years ago, when the user base was in the low 10s of millions. Needs time, and engagement, to build up. Keep posting. Your piece is excellent.

Sorry to hear this, Michael. How are they shadow banning the video?

Would be interesting to know how reliant those countries are on the US as an export market for clean tech. For China, seems relatively limited (aside from batteries).

I remember the fair trade dream when countries were given the chance of trading their way out of poverty.
Botswana for instance through diamonds - now subject to a 37% tariff.
The Ivory Coast through cocoa - now contending with a tariff of 21%.
How will they cope?
