Blog #9 "A Solar-powered grid could help bring power to millions of the world poorest countries"

This articles illustrates that a billion and half of people worldwide who don't have electricity and most of these areas are rural area where they rely on the the sun and some diesel generators. Some engineers suggest that macro grids are practical and useful way of providing and is inexpensive which could supply power to those around the world in need of electricity. The type of power supply which the international energy agency says will reach more cities and rural areas is the hybrid micro grid.  some engineers say this type of power supply will be inexpensive compared to the traditional conventional power grid with centralized plants that take more time to build. The engineers says "hybrid micro-grids can provide dependable electricity by intelligently combining power from multiple local sources, and building them is far cheaper and faster than extending the grid to the areas where most of the people without electricity live. However, there is still speculation that this technology is far more complicated that done and it will still take along time to provide power to millions of the world's population. If this new technology can be able to be implemented and provide stable energy for the majority of the people around the world, then the economic and  social development of the world will improve and help people earn a living and tap into the world's resources. As people make money from such ventures, they can afford more electricity that makes more ambitious projects possible, setting up a cycle of increasing wealth; it's a pattern that economists have documented in country after country.

The possibility of millions of the world's population having adequate electricity will make the world a better place and provide those countries with the ability to develop a more robust economy and improve its living conditions. The challenges that lay ahead are much but I believe that there will be a way this can be done to help at least half of the world and try to focus on the parts where it can be implemented. As the world moves to find alternate energy to combat the looming prices of natural gas, this new technology can help the majority of the world and even the developed worlds that are finding ways to make a better world for energy power.

If only it were really that easy, to just take the barren waste-land that there is on various spots of the Earth like dimples, and easily plant a massive amount of solar panels there for the whole world to use. Unfortunately that's a lot of money because that all requires resources and workers at the same time.
