So, the Americans are thwarting Somalia's ability to get wind-farms...why?
If wind-farms are such a surefire catapult into the economic stratosphere, why isn't the US itself undertaking a mass conversion to wind-farms? That's really the only way that a policy of blocking foreign wind-farms would make sense. The US would get exclusive access to the Goose That Lays The Golden Eggs, and everyone else would have to bow down at their feet.
That is the point, of course. If wind-farming is so easy, and economically sound, why isn't everyone doing it? According to the document cited by LEAP, all we need is around 4,000,000 5MW wind turbines, reinforced with a whole lot of solar, and throw in a hydro project or two for good measure. As a person who lives in BC, I can tell you that hydro power is not uncontroversial. We are on the point of beginning to build the Site C dam, but that battle has been going on for years. Solar power, like wind power is too variable to be a main source. Steady back-up is needed. Nowadays that most likely means natural gas.
It's too bad there weren't a few more physicists in the lineup of LEAP scientists. They may have been able to help sorting out the green from the brown.
