Community Microgrids for a Sustainable Future | Avnaesh Jayantilal | TEDxEastsidePrep

What’s the largest thing ever built by humans? It isn’t the internet, it is the electric grid. Still 20% of the world has no access to electricity. Tackling this issue in an integrated approach can have profound educational benefits at home and abroad by training local solar engineers and pairing access to power with schools.
Dr. Avnaesh Jayantilal joined Alstom Grid in 1999, and is currently Activity Director assisting electric utilities in enhancing grid operations and resiliency, business process optimization and customer satisfaction. More recently Dr. Jayantilal has supported the deployment of Microgrid projects for rural electrification in Africa. Dr Jayantilal received his Masters and PhD degrees in Electrical Power Engineering from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES), and a Member of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Apparently this guy hasn't heard about Global Warming, Africa won't be lievable in 100 years. Central Africa already has an average temperature of around 80F, in 100 years it'll approach that of human body temp and humans can't regulate temperature in an average temp of their own body temp.
That's just ONE aspect of the problem.
