Bringing energy to all would cost 4% of current investment

Roughly one-fifth of the world's population does not have access to electricity, while more than two-fifths use traditional solid fuels for cooking. This not only hampers development but can also harm health by causing indoor air pollution. Now scientists ... [Published Environmental Research Web - May 03 2013]
