Electricity is a civilising force; once seen as a common good to be provided universally to those without it, but no longer. For the impoverished power is a path out of poverty and not just a means of lighting homes and cooking meals.
The political class that trumpet global warming as the singular threat to life on earth, clearly hate the poor.
Their obsession with subsidising expensive and utterly unreliable wind and solar has already put electrical power out of the reach of the poorest and first world countries, and would, if they could, render it an exclusive preserve of the upwardly mobile and unseemly rich: ie, themselves.
The path out of poverty is always and everywhere about reliable and affordable energy. And entrenched poverty is best explained by its absence.
Want to know how important electricity is to modern life? Try living a comfortable and civilised life without it.
