When developing/Third World nations can embrace green technology so wholeheartedly we really should hang our heads in shame. When greed and selfishness stop us adopting green lifestyles, destroying the world, while poor nations struggle to address global issues like this, it really does make you question which is the truly 'developed' nation and which still living in the dark ages.Its wonderful to see that a country like Ethiopia, a country only really ever seen in the media for people dying of starvation, is so forward-thinking that wind farms are such a priority. And the biggest in Africa, too. That's quite a coup. 15% is an incredible statistic too. Sadly, I imagine that's because so much of the coutry is still so poor that the energy demands are extremely low. In humanitarian terms, that's awful; in environmental terms, it's quite hopeful - Ethiopia is setting out in the right so let's hope its future energy demands will be addressed in a similar manner.If only this could be a kick in the pants to us 'developed' nations and make us put our houses in order.Steve N.

Its wonderful to see that a country like Ethiopia, a country only really ever seen in the media for people dying of starvation, is so forward-thinking that wind farms are such a priority. And the biggest in Africa, too. That’s quite a coup. 15% is an incredible statistic too. Sadly, I imagine that’s because so much of the coutry is still so poor that the energy demands are extremely low. In humanitarian terms, that’s awful; in environmental terms, it’s quite hopeful – Ethiopia is setting out in the right so let’s hope its future energy demands will be addressed in a similar manner.

If only this could be a kick in the pants to us ‘developed’ nations and make us put our houses in order.
