lpv:spoken text	"I want to thank my colleague for asking that question, which is indeed a very good question. Yes indeed, the sun shines brightest in the poorest parts of the world, and yet they are not harnessing that energy that comes from the sun. Water flows most rapidly downstream of rivers, and mini-hydros could be used to generate electricity. However, nothing of that kind is happening. It is so obvious that there are certain lacunae in the way we are thinking. What we have to do is to create a climate where a village could buy and set up a small mini-hydro. It needs to be registered as a company. The villagers would own it and then generate electricity that they could sell among themselves and to the next village. It is simple. This would have happened in Belgium, France and the United States, but it does not happen in Africa. Why? Because they do not have the infrastructure."@en1
