yet have access to electricity, or at least a form of electricity, and maybe 10 - 20 % are living in slum housing, trying to save the world for the benefit of future generations isn't top of mind.
Yet one billion people in the world today
have no
access to electricity, and roughly three times that number use dirty cooking fuels, whose smoke is killing more than four million people a year.
