Main reason for optimism is leapfrogging - thats when a society/place that was excluded from industrial age networks leapfrogs an old system to a new one thanks to 1000 times more COMstech than 1946; about a third of the world never had wired telephone lines, now almost all have mobile (text version); more than a quarter of the world never had electricity grids, now microsolar is linking in;.

Even as the 1960s moon race inspired the world, we need to understand how unequal the opporttunity to innovate had been - even in the 1960s as many as half the world's people had no access to electricity grids so they got their news of the moon race by word of mouth.

Consider 1000-1500- until the last few years of this period , the known world was Europe-Asia and NE Africa; #BR8 the med sea was the main world trade waterway; places facing this sea increasingly developed win-win trades; moreover #BR7 the west asian border to med sea was the start of an amazing overland relay of traders which stretched all the way to china (the silk road was the greatest overland world trade route ever and to sustain its interfacing markets required positive cross-cultural bridging all along its route. Silks and spices from the Chinese end acted like a positive currency- there was much demand for them whose value naturally went up the further they were merchanted back to Europe. Everyone gained for this trading route- you can read marco polo's diaries- perhaps nowhere invested more in artistic celebrations of being a major hub of positive trade than his hometown venice in europe and the town he was asked to govern for 2 years in china Hangzhou which marco described as the great town of markets in the world.)

What happened towards 1500 that 2 long shipping routes were discovered by north europeans- the new world of the ameriucas to the west (#BR6 N, #BR10 what we now call Latin America), and a way of reaching the @BR2 South Asian coastal Belt (starting with the indian subcontinent) by sailing around africa. A ship captain couldnt affird such a long return voyage unless he goit what trade he wanted- soon this big ships were equipped with gun power and crews were pressganged or even enslaved. Next in the process was colonising. So it was that nations became big by pludering economies of other peoples places. Back in 1500 places economic size was corelated with population. Soon Britain grew at the expense particularly of the Indian subcontiuent. Mainly Britain and France colonised Africa too, Spain andPotrtugal colonised Latin America. North America was settled by a mixyure of Europeans whose declaration of Indendence in 1776 ended any attempt by Britain to colonise America, But we should note that the USA was built on a sort of internal colonisation - natives had theor places taken over and slaves were used to do most of the hard labour. In effect the old war's colonial ways casued the 2 world wars of the fkirst half of the 20th C. From 1946 most of the world's countries regained their independence but starting from (mainly undeveloped states - poverty that the colonia era had gtraped them in).

Ironically whule the UDA came to tghe resuce of the old workld and from 1946 helped relaunch the two biggest losers of world war 2 Germsny and Japan, american (not withstandiong thair family trees origins) had previously had little modern of knowledge of Eurasia but were pulled into peacekeeping and the cold war with russia through the sceond half of the 20th C. Whilst there was some understanding of the extraoerdinary progress japanese enginers made with electornics, civil and other enginnering, the rise and rise of the east and the often difficult bodrers that had been caused by British and Jpoanese colonisation of the region are not deeply studied by most Americans or their media. It should be the best news the world has ever seen that the fifth of the world in chjna tghat closed itself to the world for more than a centiry after Brfits has offered opium as a gtrading currency in 1860 is now as entrepreneurial as anywhere. With over half of tghe world's ;people facikng either the sout asia or east asia coastal belts, the opportunity the east is cfreating to win0pwin gtrade oin line with moore's ever increasing technology should make sustainable youth worlwdie the gfreatesty positive curency-invetsment the human race has ever mapped. But this is not how USA or the block of coungtriues ruled by the Euro have marketed transapfrently. Instead we are caught in the Keynsian crisis of economist not valuing the hippocratic oathes he had published as tghe final chapter of the ngeneral throy of employment money and interest. The 2020s are likely to make the system designs our tech spreads irreversible- will the end game be big brother extinction or little sister sustainability?

day 28 in praise of microenergycredits.com

we miss the late greate wangari maathai - twitter with greenbeltmovement

https://vimeo.com/microenergycredits/videos -we desperately need an open learning curriculum of bottom-up environmental solutions -its probably one of the gaps in president trump's experience of life in the developing world  - 3 videos to watch now if you care about forests  -is the world bank rise database worth a look http://rise.worldbank.org/ ?

at tsinghua university , brooking in china is led by the forer founder of beijing's thinktank on microenergy - we'd love to know china's benchmark solutions in this space

meanwhile here's a tour of some other developing regions

http://microenergycredits.com/blog/ who do you admire most in microenergy world- it seems that there is so much local context that the hope/need for this market to fast scale worldwide is going to take a new platform - perhaps blockchain

power africa was the second of obama's usaid programs designed to integrate massive public and private partberships -when we look at the thousands of contractors usaid employs we wonder how much blockchain could save in clarifying all aid ledgers of microenergy

reviews on scaling challenges include 1

a founding hero is neville williams : www.self.org comes out of his love of solar from the  days the carter administration made him ambassador to clean energy

 after being briefed by williams in around 1996 dr muhammad yunus grameen shakti was developing by mid 2000ss one of the fastest growing models by getting microfinance for solar optimal until the troubles that saw the government take back a lot of grameen's finance - elements that were win-wins- grameen phone ladies needed ways to recharge village mobiles; yunus inspired over a thousand youthful green engineers to get solar systems out there in rural areas; he had also hoped top create massive numbers of jobs for village girls with the after-service of solar installations

 microenergycredits.com emerged from some of yunus founding team

nancy wimmer wrote the book on how yunus model deserved to solar a billion and also caries on work he inspired at  http://microsolar.com/team.html

www.ashden.org runs the awars for microenergy - led by lord sainsbury's daughter sarah butler-sloss and with prince charles and vip patron

issues with solar include :
how to share any excess that one solar unit produces
batteries remain the non-green (and perhaps inefficient) part of the system
the technology has been on a moores law of downward pricing- this makes it hard to be confident of
of how fast the business model may need to evolve

indeed one of the risks of the yunus social business model is it doesnt always keep enough in reserve to deal with when technology requires another investment leap forward

we strong recommend keeping eye on paul polak's bottom up multinational models - we'd like to see one of the microenergy franchises scale to hundreds of million served

meanwhile the 15 decision culture of microenvironment services celebrated by microenergycredits resonates with us and we hope you
