World Bank HQ
Everything takes money in our world and energy poverty is no
different. World Bank is supporting universal access to reliable energy and is
limiting funding to coal-fired power plants so that only in rare circumstances are
it used. The Bank along with other agencies is working to give access to 1.2
billion people around the world. This initiative is inline with President
Obama’s plans to no longer fund overseas coal projects in most occasions.
This is a significant change in the fact that bring focus to
clean energy to rid us of energy poverty, bring focus to locally presented
renewable energy. They are recognizing that not acting is a greater failure
than is acceptable. Renewable energy prices are falling around the world making
this the intelligent choice.
So with renewable energy becoming not only the right choice
but the smart one, will the changes be significant enough to bring those 1.2
billion people out of energy poverty?
