Kenya, the 6th largest economy in Africa gets it's dominant power supply from geothermal, showing that it is possible to have an economy based on renewable energy. The next two sources of electricity are hydro and wind. After 10pm, the grid can run 100% on renewable energy. With structural reforms to the electricity distribution system, reduction of technical and economic losses and transition to sustainable biomass energy, Kenya is well ahead of the pack in achieving Net zero by 2040 or even sooner with more decisive leadership.

This one is quite good. I appreciate you sharing Jesse Nyokabi . Although I'm interested to see how #power sources evolve over the next ten years, I don't think much will change. My prediction is that the majority of oil-powered countries will shift more towards natural gas ( where possible). The countries that rely on natural gas and hydropower are unlikely to significantly alter their primary #energy sources, in my opinion. Though the adoption of renewable technology will occur everywhere, including in the areas of solar, wind, biomass, and biomass, it won't have a substantial enough influence to alter the map's colour scheme. Overall, I think African countries will be in a better place as regard using sustainable sources of energy for power generation and reducing GHG emissions. #africa #energyacces

🌍✨ Shining a Light on Africa's Nocturnal Landscape ✨🌌 Africa, often referred to as the "Dark Continent" for its untapped wealth of minerals and resources, holds a captivating secret beneath its starry night skies. 🌟🌍 While the term has been historically tied to racial misconceptions, let's explore a different dimension tonight. 🌃📊 In the quiet hours of darkness, a revealing story unfolds - one of development and urbanization. The global map of night lights tells a tale of progress, with bright clusters of urban areas marking a path toward prosperity. 🌐 Yet, across most of Africa, these luminescent beacons remain elusive, painting a unique picture of both challenges and opportunities. 🌌💡 Only along the majestic Nile River, near its mouth, and in scattered pockets of the central continent, do we witness the glow of urban life. 🌍💫 Together, let's illuminate Africa's path to progress. 🌠🌆 #AfricanNights #UrbanizationJourney #ShineOnAfrica

Did you know this? The true size of Africa is often underestimated on many maps due to the distortion caused by the Mercator projection, which exaggerates the sizes of land masses as they move away from the equator. In reality, Africa is much larger than it appears on most maps, and it's actually larger than the combination of the United States, China, India, and a large portion of Europe combined!

Recently, I watched a video about the experiences of Africans living in Europe. It highlighted the challenges of adjusting to a colder climate. It went ahead and explained how homes in Europe are designed for insulation. And most have central heating systems to cope with winter. The video also demonstrated the dangers some African migrants face while crossing the Mediterranean Sea, or paying smugglers for passage. On the other hand, the video showcased a positive story. It showed a family who had successfully built a life in Europe through hard work and saving. The narrator emphasized the beauty and warmth of Africa, which the family clearly missed. The video sparked a lot of questions for me. It made me wonder about your situation. Are you currently in Europe, or considering going there? Winter in Europe can be cold, but it's manageable with proper preparation. I would recommend researching average temperatures for the specific regions you're interested in. Ultimately, the decision of where to live is a personal one. There are pros and cons to consider for both Europe and Africa. #stevemwandi #Europe #Africa #migration #goldenvisa
