[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] LOL! So now can we put that nonsense to rest about most Africans having electricity? Apparently the American president doesn't think so. But that said, don't let Obama's announcements fool you. The global corporate elites have no intention on letting Africans get access to electricity on a large scale and that is because they want to steal the electricity and use it for themselves just like they do every other resource in Africa. Even the president did one of his famous two steps turning around and saying that even though he wants power in Africa, he doesn't want Africans to have the same things that they have in the West. Pure PR designed to say one thing and be another. [QUOTE] While speaking at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa, President Obama said the planet would boil if people in Africa were allowed to have air conditioning, cars and big houses, CNS News reported Monday. Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over -- unless we find new ways of producing energy,” he said.[/QUOTE] http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-planet-will-boil-over-if-africans-have-air-conditioning-cars So this whole plan by Obama is simply another "green screen" environmental scam designed to limit Africans actual access to energy, even while huge hydroelectric projects are developed to primarily run the mines owned by foreigners extracting the wealth out of Africa and their expatriate communities. Talk about hypocrisy and to top it off, the Africans are the ones going into debt for these projects but get none of the benefit. [QUOTE] Last month, the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo announced in Paris that the construction of the first phase of a new set of energy projects at the country's Inga Falls would begin in October 2015. The new $12 billion development, dubbed Inga 3, is expected to have a power output of nearly 4,800 megawatts (MW), with South Africa agreeing to buy half of the electricity generated. ... With a length of 4,700 kilometers, the Congo is Africa's second biggest river, after the Nile, and the world's second largest river in terms of flow, after the Amazon. At the Grand Inga site, some 1.5 million cubic feet of water flow steadily through a network of cataracts every second, dropping about 100 meters to form the world's biggest waterfall by volume. Ethiopia builds infrastructure for growth Zambia's investment in infrastructure Yet the power potential from the river's rapids has largely gone unexploited in a country plagued by violence and corruption for decades -- just 11.1% of the DRC's population has access to electricity, according to the World Bank. Read this: Africa's new skyscraper cities So far, the only two projects built to tap Congo's potential are two smaller dams -- Inga 1, commissioned in 1972, and Inga 2, a decade later. [b]Both of them are almost exclusively used to provide energy for the mining companies in the southern DRC's copper belt but are currently undergoing extensive rehabilitation as they perform far below capacity.[/b] [/QUOTE] http://edition.cnn.com/2013/06/28/business/biggest-hydropower-grand-inga-congo [/QB][/QUOTE]
