You can die from cold food?

Yeah, sorry all the problems cited are more easily solved by educating people than by electrification. The electrification of America was driven by profit and convenience not sob stories.

Ok, to rephrase: electrification of the developed world was driven by economics not whinging.

So when the ANC decided not to build more generating plants they were actually planning to commit mass murder? :eek:

We did this research in SA back in the late 80s. It's tragic to see kids getting respiratory diseases and older people with throat cancer from excessive indoor smoke. Then there are the runaway shack fires caused by candles falling over etc. Much of this is avoidable and its tragic that SA still has so many families without electrification.
