[Renewable energy] Unlocking Africa's Renewable Energy Potential

With the right stimuli, delivered through a multi-pronged strategy, renewables will take off in sub-Saharan Africa.
Like blind men describing an elephant, African pundits talk about renewables in terms of individual perceptions, needs and inclinations, and often in ways that put the overall issue completely out of perspective.

Environmentalists talk about deforestation, unsustainable use of charcoal in cities and the risks associated with biofuel production.
