520    "1.2 billion people on Earth still don't have electricity.
       Even where cell phones are now common, like sub-Saharan 
       Africa and parts of India, villagers still walk miles to 
       charge them. But new large-scale, sustainable solutions 
       will not only usher in a new era of light, but be an 
       important first step in lifting people from poverty and 
       putting them on a road of sustainable economic 
       development. Also, a unique, transforming opportunity for 
       Western thinkers and practitioners will be created. These 
       areas have largely skipped the analog stage of power 
       development, and have moved straight from the middle ages 
       to the digital age. They are not encumbered by existing 
       infrastructure, dependence on fossil fuels, or too many 
       outdated laws and regulations. An ideal innovation 
       incubator, the developing world might just be the best way
       to make progress on our own energy issues at home.Jim 
       Rogers is leading a grand collaborative effort to bring 
       sustainable, clean electrical power to everyone who lacks 
       it. This reverse engineering, he contends, could solve the
       energy crises of America and Europe, while also making the
       world a cleaner, smarter place. But it won't be easy. In 
       Lighting the World, Rogers details the bold thinking, 
       international cooperation, and political will required to 
       illuminate the future for everyone"--|cProvided by
