    Especially with all it’s infrastructural work in Africa. Rolling out smart grids with wind and solar power would be effective in Africa. It’s positive on top of positive. As Bastani argues in Fully Automated Luxury Communism, providing energy to Africa would bring an immediate and massive improvement to public health in many places. Even through simple stuff like being able to turn electric lights on at night will reduce nighttime accidents, crime rates, and improve health outcomes e.g. during pregnancy, as giving birth is otherwise extra dangerous in the dark at night.
