  Well it’s slightly longer than the genus Homo first appeared, so yeah longer than the lifetime of all human like “animals”.

  I’d agree if there would ba a “could” in there or something. The reality is that a lot of soy (that humans can digest) is fed to animals…

  I’m not saying it will stay in that way. I’m just disappointed, that this number is not way higher, when comparing to e.g. Germany.

  And I would even say it’s the interest of developed countries (as they would have a stake in it, thus profiting from it). I’m not fond of a new form of colonialism (and I would grant them the sole energetic advantage they have of their location), but right now we just need to pivot as fast as possible, colonialism/“globalization” or not…

  While this sounds like a solid increase. It’s so much lower than it could be. Germany alone did 14.1GW in 2023 and doesn’t have a very good location compared to most of Africa. (nor does it have that many people).

  I hope developed countries are using a lot more of their resources/invest a lot more into solar energy in Africa (e.g. via desertec). It would help both parties, and leads to more stable energy source throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.
