Bringing solar electricity to impoverished villages around the world
“When men go outside, they don’t come back. But the women always come back. We have trained 600 grandmothers [ages 35 and over] in 64 countries around the world and every grandmother has gone back home.”
~ Excerpt from video, Bunker Roy, Founder and Director of Barefoot College, India.

Excellent video; key word: decentralization of power systems. If any good is ever to really result from all these projects, it will happen through decentralization. Centralization equals globalism; total control of resources and populations by sociopathic plutocrats who can then decide at one meeting, the fate of billions of individuals.
