But solar is just electricity! My family of 6 uses 12-16 kWh a month because we do lights, charging our phones and the TV/radio! Most families of 6 use 6-8 units a month in rural Kenya. An American refrigerator uses 45 kWh a month! An American family uses about 900 kWh a month! Why the big difference? Poverty. We don't have refrigerators or dishwashers or laundry machines. The only way we will need more electricity is through us becoming better off and that can only happen through improving agriculture. A sector that 6-7 out of 10 Africans depend on for a livelihood. We need more synthetic/nitrogenous fertilizer from Fossil Fuels. We need farm machines made of steel and powered by diesel, from Fossil Fuels. We need irrigation water, from boreholes drilled by Fossil Fueled machines or desalinated salty water, and pipes + greenhouses made from lots of Fossil Fuel plastics. Then value addition. Industrialization in Africa is waiting for us to start using Fossil Fuels that we have in plenty. It's how we will end youth unemployment. With Fossil Fuels we can solve the UN development goals with the use of Fossil Fuels. Solar electricity which is available 25% of the time in the sunniest locations (12% for Germany) isn't the answer. What we need is reliable affordable versatile energy, and locally available. Fossil Fuels for Africa

OPINION: To move Web3 forward, our accountability must be public — and verifiable by design By @JohnAlanWoods of @AlgoFoundation blockworks.co/news/web3-secu…


One of the KEY challenges of Web3 is this 👇 Authenticated comms between wallets and apps ✨ Digital wallets are a critical component of the Web3 ecosystem. They enable users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) and manage their digital assets. They're essential for ensuring that users can interact: 🔹 Securely 🔹 Privately 🔹 Seamlessly And in a manner where they retain control over their data, assets, and keys. L1 networks are taking the challenge head-on, here's how:
