One easy way to see Africa’s power problem is by looking at a picture of the Earth from space at night. While other inhabited regions of the world glow and sparkle like jewels in a black velvet display case, Africa remains largely dark. That’s because the continent’s 1.1 billion inhabitants have at their disposal just 185 gigawatts (GW) of installed power-generation capacity. The United States, by comparison, can draw on 1,000 GW for 300 million people.

Silicon Valley veteran Ganesh Bell believes in the power of software so much that he decided to join one of the world’s largest industrial companies. “After two decades in the software business and working in the Valley, I’ve heard Marc Andreessen say that software was going to eat the world and it clicked,” he says. “I realized the next software company wouldn’t be a software company at all.

Everyone agrees on the need for infrastructure investment to drive development, but it will only happen under the right conditions.

Coal may have its critics, but Japan is demonstrating that the fossil fuel can have a role to play in sustainable economic growth.

Few countries in the world face the energy security challenges of Japan. With virtually no domestic energy resources to speak of — its large methane hydrate resources being decades away from development — Japan has had to rely on imported fuel for almost all of its energy needs.
