Incredibly, close to one-quarter of humanity lives without electricity or other modern forms of energy, while as many as one-third of the worlds population relies (at least in part) on traditional biofuels, such as cow dung or firewood, at great cost to its health, security, and economic welfare.

Indeed, sustainable development cannot succeed without a robust energy-access component. Furthermore, this is not just a ghastly problem for the poor, but rather a global concern.
