I recommend use radiant energy extracted from the electrical systema of the Earth

Or a more single and powerfull nuclear energy extracted from the carbon

Bye

If they have coastline on an ocean, also tides. And use the difference in temperature between deep and shallow waters. Geothermal is also available in some areas. When I was in Iceland they were using geothermal for all their heating, as they have no fossil fuels. No one will ever die from using solar energy unless they fall asleep at the focus of the mirrors LOL. Nuclear is only promoted by what I call nuke kooks. Solar and wind.

How about coal at least it will keep them away from the trees. Third world country. How about coal at least it will keep them away from the trees.

These technologies don't make a lot of money for world banks and multi-nationals, however. Energy sources include: Sugar Cane production of Alcohol (Ethanol) Solar Panels Sunlight (Reflectors are used to make cost-effective ovens) Wind mills Tidal Water and River Water Generators Geo Thermal The third world has been coping very well for many generations without high captial investments. I suggest those countries start using their resourcefulness rather than build huge indebtedness. You might want to read about appropriate technology as described by E. F. Schumacher.

For example, geothermal energy - in regions with high volcanic activity. Solar energy - for countries with enough amount of sunny days. Energy of sea waves, wind, tides etc. For example, technical potential of solar energy in Russia (2.3 mlrd t of relative fuel per year) is approximately in 2 times higher than present consumption of fuel.

And it cannot be demonstrated that investments in solar, wind or water can ever pay off for 3rd world countries. Essentially, someone must give them something, or they will never get off the ground. Sad, but true, I'm afraid... Ron. That is very difficult because they have no money for initial investment.
