@itzakpoelzig330 Жыл бұрын
Wind powered would be even more low tech and therefore cheaper and more reliable. And when there's no wind, a crank can be attached so that people can turn it by hand. Gasoline, or whatever they're currently using is obviously unsustainable, but solar power is far from perfect too. The materials to make solar panels have to be mined in unsustainable ways, and solar panels themselves are not ecologically sound, meaning they don't biodegrade and are hard or impossible to recycle entirely.

He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it you drink and from it the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily, in this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for a people who give thought. (Al-Quran, Surah An-Nahl: 10-11)

Yeah, it's not like Ethiopians suddenly one day forgot how to take care of Ethiopia and decided to cut down all the trees just for the heck of it. They were driven to it by extreme poverty, imposed on them by colonizers and capitalists. Let's not leave out that part of the story.
