Resumen de Africa's power surge
Rich nations are taking an increasing interest in electrifying the rest of the world. At the Africa Leaders Summit in Washington DC, US Pres Barack Obama announced an additional $12 billion in funding for his administration's Power Africa initiative, which aims to help bring power to at least 60 million households and businesses across the continent. But 85% of the 1.3 billion people lacking electricity worldwide live in rural areas which means powering Africa won't be as simple as hooking up villages to a centralized power grid.
