These are taken from a previous post I did, but I wanted to make it its own discussion if I could. From the maps I've found, Africa looks to have enormous renewable energy potential, fair better in many cases than the industrialized nations that are now investing heavily in it. I know several African nations, like Kenya, get a lot of their power from hydro, but for a continent just building its infrastructure, is there a way to make renewable energy more prevalent and available to the people who need it?
The following two images show Africa's wind and solar potential respectively. For the first, better wind potential is in brighter shades of green, and for the solar map, better photovoltaic potential is in deeper shades of red/brown.
