Why Solarpunk is already happening in Africa

Or: How Africa is building the future by skipping the past

by Skander Garroum

Hey there! 👋
Skander here.

You know that feeling when you’re waiting for the cable guy, and they said ‘between 8am and 6pm, and you waste your entire day, and they never show up?

Now imagine that, except the cable guy is ‘electricity,’ the day is ‘50 years,’ and you’re one of 600 million people. At some point, you stop waiting and figure it out yourself.

What’s happening across Sub-Saharan Africa right now is the most ambitious infrastructure project in human history, except it’s not being built by governments or utilities or World Bank consortiums. It’s being built by startups selling solar panels to farmers on payment plans. And it’s working.

Over 30 million solar products sold in 2024. 400,000 new solar installations every month across Africa. 50% market share captured by companies that didn’t exist 15 years ago. Carbon credits subsidizing the cost. IoT chips in every device. 90%+ repayment rates on loans to people earning $2/day.

And if you understand what’s happening in Africa, you understand the template for how infrastructure will get built everywhere else for the next 50 years.

British Journalist Douglas Murray EXPOSED as Israeli Asset by Lowkey

10 Minute Video on Leaked e-mails expose British “Journalist” Douglas Murray’s Conversations with Israeli Officials

Etienne Note: The #1 weapon is control of perception. Can the organized crime system control the information you receive… through the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA internet or simply buying off the “journalists” you see on the BBC….

The truth that Douglas Murray doesn’t want you to know is that he is directly an Israeli asset.

Video Plays: Well, I’m joined now by Douglas Murray who’s on the Gaza border.

Douglas, let me ask you first of all, why have you felt the need to go there? Well, I’ve covered every Israeli conflict since the 2006 Lebanon war.

This is not journalism.

We are talking about people who claim to be independent critical thinkers offering their services as assets of a foreign power.

So much so that he received an award from the Israeli president for services in propaganda to Israel during the genocide in Gaza.

Douglas Murray was gushing with pride when he said it brings him great joy to align with Israel.

While Murray has recently become more viciferous in his support for the genocidal Israel, his relationship is far from new.

Over a decade ago, in 2014, at the time of a genocidal onslaught against Gaza, Douglas Murray rallied round to provide his services to Israel.

Court Filing Exposes 9/11 Coverup

Almost two-and-a-half decades on, the media appears to have lost all interest in that fateful, world-changing day

This year’s anniversary of 9/11 passed without mainstream mention. Almost two-and-a-half decades on, the media appears to have lost all interest in that fateful, world-changing day. This is despite the April 2023 release of a bombshell court filing by the Office of Military Commissions, which concluded at least two of the alleged hijackers were CIA assets, having been recruited “via a liaison relationship” with Saudi intelligence. The same document offers illuminating insight into how the 9/11 Commission buried this, among other inconvenient truths.

Blockbuster: The Blaze Names Capitol Police Officer/ CIA Agent as a 94% Match for Jan. 6 Pipe Bomber

The January 6, 2021 riot took place while a joint session of Congress convened at the Capitol to certify the Electoral College vote from the 2020 presidential election that many believed was fraudulently stolen from Trump. Critics contend that the J6 riots were provoked to prevent Republicans in Congress from objecting to the certification.

The FBI said an unknown suspect placed pipe bombs under a park bench at the DNC and the Capitol Hill Club near the Republican National Committee building around 8 pm the night before the riot. The pipe bombs were discovered just before the riot and some police resources were redirected to investigating the dummy pipe bombs.
