Forty-five years after Paul Ehrlich announced his desire to poison Africans, climate alarmists are still looking for new ways to kill as many Africans as they can.
Mindful of the benefits, the Obama administration’s Power Africa proposal and the World Bank are trying to double African access to electricity. But they have been hamstrung by the opposition of their political base to fossil fuels—even though off-grid and renewable power from the sun, tides and wind is still too unreliable, too hard to transmit, and way too expensive for Africa to build and maintain as its primary source of power.
In 2010 the left tried to block a World Bank loan for a new coal-fired plant in South Africa. Fortunately, the loan was approved (with the U.S. abstaining). The drive to provide electricity for the poor has been perhaps the greatest achievement of South Africa’s post-apartheid governments.
Standing on the mountainside at night in Cape Town, overlooking the “Coloured” township of Mitchell’s Plain and the African township of Khayelitsha, you can now see a twinkling blanket of bulbs. How terrible to think that so many people in the West would rather block such success stories in the name of unproved science.

The left has been contemplating genocide in Africa for a long time.
Why, that’s just purely racist! Unless those are white Africans … in which case I presume it is okay?
MOVE ALONG THERE IS NOTHING NEW HERE TO SEE.
Actually Progressives have been murdering Black Africans wholesale for years now. 28,0000,000 dead and dying Third World children have already succumbed in the past 13 years. If another 28,000,000 die in the next 13 years the toll of dead will be worst than the number of Africans sold into the Transatlantic slave trade.
The weapon that Progressives use is their Regressive shortsighted opposition to Genetically Modified food that has the promise of eliminating Third World Hunger and malnutrition.
Let’s not forget banning DDT has killed millions (mostly children) due to malaria.
Just following the teachings of Margaret Sanger.
I understand the White House wants to introduce Obamacare across Africa. That will just compound the genocide.
Hmmm … ‘death panels’ will be a natural for some of those regimes …
