Africa holds 60% of the world's best solar resources, the planet's largest untapped hydropower site, and geothermal reserves that could power the continent for centuries. Yet 600 million Africans still lack electricity. This is the story of Africa's green energy paradox—and how to solve it.
Africa's rivers could power the continent and feed billions—but colonial treaties, foreign corporations, land grabs, and climate colonialism keep African water under external control. From the Ethiopia-Egypt standoff to the Congo's untapped potential, the fight for water sovereignty is the fight for Africa's future.
