Topic: Electricity as a tool for development (Read 212 times)

the worst part of this analogy is that some of this developing nation that are still straggling with electricity generation have abundance of crude oil that they export and yet they can't boost of half a day electricity supply that's up and running on a regular. energy usage is what holds today's society and a society that is yet to solve her energy crisis is obviously not ready for any feasible group.

imagine running a college education in an environment that lacks power, and you expect the student to measure up with their counterpart that are in regions where power outage is almost like an abomination, and they have their device always powered on. how can you measure up to those set of people when as a student you have to set your reading schedule based on the few times power will be brought? industries can't even function well because almost all the major industry depends on power for most of her operation.

overpopulation is mostly an issue in an urban part of these developing countries because the urban part is the only region where you have access to electricity, and this drives business to just a segment of the society while the rural part without these basic anilities is left almost unhabitable because of lack of power and this in general cause a deceleration in development in such nations.

There is no two way abt it, stable or constant power is d fundamental tool for d development of any nation. Wen dere is stable power it attract investors, enhance businesses, by so doing, jobs opportunities comes up, reducing d cost of high expenses of alternatives means of getting power in our daily businesses, therefore I conclude by saying constant power supply can contribute immensely to development of any nation.

You are right that many developing countries do not have access to reliable energy and in many cases are dependent on alternative energy sources such as solar energy.  Electricity is a fundamental element for the development of any country and society as it is very important for industry, education, health, communication, transportation and other basic services.  Some countries in Africa and South Asia are facing extreme problems due to lack of energy.  Although solar energy is an environmentally friendly energy source, its efficient use on a large scale requires financial investment, technical expertise and long-term planning.  While a viable solution for some countries, it is extremely difficult to implement as a complete energy supply in practice.

Where there is electricity there will be rapid revolution. We have also seen in the past that Soviet Union made their economic revolution only because of electrification. In today's modern era, the development of the country is not possible without electricity, if I notice that there are various countries in Africa that still do not have electricity, that is why they are economically backward. Electricity is changing the quality of life of people in a country not only economically but also socially. But it is not enough to have electricity, here you have to make proper use of electricity in the development of your country where the governments of many developing countries are still not distributing electricity properly by party people power. Electricity is an essential resource that has the power to enhance and improve people's lives in many ways. The revolution for countries will only happen when the generation and distribution of electricity is properly harnessed.

Our country generates energy using electric power, solar power and coal power. But in this case usually we get solar energy naturally which helps to start the generator engine. And mainly coal is used to generate electricity and it is the leaders who play the biggest role in the political field. From here they take the benefits by showing massive deficits, most of the developing and some countries have such an effect.

One of the major tool for development is electricity because i don't think a place can get develop with out having a good power supply and no investor would like to invest in an environment that doesn't have adequate Powe suppy.
My village got developed today due to having 24hours Power suppy given to us by total energies and Power it has brought people from far and near to come and invest companies also are coming infact electricity is very important in our everyday life just in conclusion.

Bad governance is an important factor when comes to access to power, electricity and other necessary things for the improvement of the life of people, in the end of the day, it is about how our leaders are supposed to work in order to make their countries are better place to live for all of us, as simple as that.
If there is something which has been proven again and again, is how the abundance of natural resources and foil energy does not guarantee the development of a country. There are very right countries when comes to minerals and oil in the American continent and also in the African continent, and yet, many of those countries are stuck in underdevelopment.
We can blame the leaders and corruption, but we also need to put some of the responsability on the people how voted for those bad leaders in the first place.

Also, green energy or renewable energy can be a good solution in the long term, but in order for it to be effective, even developing countries need to implement it, not only the rich countries from Europe. There is when those rich countries will have to finance the green transition overseas, since nothing is free, when that time comes people must be careful how that financing is going to work exactly.

You cannot compare the rural areas to the urbans settings, there are places in some of those rural areas where by development is still very far from them, not because the government is not aware, but the whole place cannot be under the same coverage under government scheme for development, which means, there are places that people are still existing there, living and have turned a large community but without the role of any government or traces or civilization with them.

I don't believe that there are countries that are sincerely unable to provide for themselves electricity but the major issue with such countries is corrupt minded officials who would not contract the right people to do the job of providing good and cheap electricity. Something else is that embezzlement is usually the order of the day when contracts are awarded to get expatriate to do jobs especially in Africa. In such contract, there is a middle man or a fictitious business name or company somewhere that would stand in as the contractor but with deeper research it will be revealed as the companies of one of the people in government, so everything keep going in circles. Thus, a country without proper and cheap electricity is always in shabble and doesn't progress because electricity is the main hub for manufacturing and economic development, this is why the third world countries are still where they are.

It's possible to be but I can't go in details because there are really some funny displays by which some of the underdeveloped country leaders are being so wicked that they syphones public funds ought to be for developments and infrastructures and also another possibility that such of timid terms of a nation living in such dark awkwardness could be lack of resources to finance the nation so they could execute most of their needful and essential projects such as the electricity which is a remarkable credit to promote development within a society.

current developments, every year there are new discoveries and power plants are now becoming more sophisticated so that there are solar power plants, even though they are only on a small scale, but humans are competing and speeding up their work using electricity, this is what creates dependency because everyone already uses it if we If you don't use it, you will be left behind. From cooking rice using electricity to bathing you also have to use electricity. Perhaps currently electricity is the main tool in the world of work and is also very important for family life.

I don't know what to say about power generation but I know in my country different states and different environment have different power supply. What do I mean by this, city A could be getting 20hrs power supply, City B will get 18hrs, City C will get 15hrs, City D will have 10hrs, City E will have 5hrs and some don't have at all. This is what happens in Nigeria my country. I don't think the problem of power is so difficult for the government to solve but I don't know why they don't really want to solve it.

There may be some nations that are unable, but for most of them, they are able but they have the wrong leader. It’s either the leader is a bad one or is not a smart one to know what needs to be done. I think that renewable energy is what we should all focus on so we can make the earth cleaner. It was clean when it was created, I see no reason why we shouldn’t have it the same way. Overtime, these problems will get solved. Remember there was no much countries with electricity, development is ongoing. Unless again, bad governance.

Yes, I guess there is something fishing behind any nation that is depending on solar before their activities or companies can carry out their production, when they have the resources to enjoy a stable power supply in their country, and those things can be cause by bad leaders who have share on solar.

All those developed countries in the world you seen around the world today, made all those developments happened through the stable power supply they created for people to have access freely in the lands that made them to achieved all those things.

All the country of the world has power supply, but some decided to use solar to replace power supply in their countries that make them to continue spending huge amount of money on things that is generating light for them to use, which power supply can make them to spend less in that country.

As far as I can remember, epileptic electric power supply has been the order of the day in my country, 24 hours constant power supply is a privilege that happens sometimes. Power outage can last for days and when light comes, it won't last for 24 hours before it's taken again, so almost every household has an electric generator that uses fuel. Different governments will come and give fake promises that there'll be constant power supply, but it's all a lie, as I'm typing now, there's no light in my neighborhood since yesterday evening, when my batteries and power banks are running low, I'll have to switch on my electric power generator that uses fuel. This has been affecting the cost of doing business for many years because you must plan on how you'll need to generate power, which is expensive, buying and servicing your generator and constantly buying fuel or diesel, plus noise pollution everywhere, it's really crazy.

Without fossil fuels the biggest problem would be electricity generation. As easily as it is possible to generate electricity by burning oil or gas it is not yet possible to generate electricity in any other way. Electricity is the key to development nothing is possible without electricity. So the present government soon after coming to power thought about electricity and succeeded in producing electricity at any cost. It was because of this that the entire country could come under the power of electricity today.

Usually corruption issues. You can look at the entire African continent and find that the majority are living without electricity or without a reliable source of cheap and sustainable electricity. As such, their economies are under developed.

Cheap energy is the blood of any economy. You get rid of it and you can count on economic growth being stunted. And of course, pertinent to some of us, Bitcoin adoption becomes harder.

It is possible for a nation to develop itself without oil or coal, but it is impossible from them to develop their capabilities without having access to electrical power, as simple as that.
Any country which does not have reliable electricity is going to live about two hundred years in the past and with no chance to evolve out of it.
If a country does not have access to fossil fuels, then it should be a priority for the politicians of such country to find alternatives to cater the demands of the population, improve the living standars and then use the according investments further increase capabilities in Power generation.
Solar energy is okey for small communities which may be isolated but it could he also be used in a widespread way, together with other alternative power sources. I am personally fond of geothermical and hydroelectical power generation.

Even though fossil fuels are handy and can be easy to exploit, they cannot last forever.

Is there a nation on Earth that doesn't have power all the time, and if so, how do they get by? I discovered from my research that certain developing nations do not have access to continuous energy, and that some nations rely solely on solar power for their electrical needs. Given the critical role that electricity plays in the development of society, why do the leaders of those developing nations either not prioritize solving their energy-related issues or seem content with the status quo?
  Using a personal solar panel to turn on a generator is the only way to survive.
 Do you believe that any nation in the globe is unable to obtain reliable energy, or is there something else?
