As the spread of electricity and the internet connects us, more people learn about what is going on in the world and get the tools to participate. I have had the pleasure of watching young boys and girls in Moroccan villages get access to electricity for the first time, as they take their first steps online. They are about to enter a global world. Not only can they learn to read and write; they now have access to the sum of humanity’s knowledge, and can add their own ingenuity to it. The problem at the heart of global warming – our thirst for energy – is, in fact, also the solution.
