Yes! Yes! Yes! Renewable energy is the way to go. In the process, do not overlook the overly renewable resource embodied in the nuisance of aquatic weeds. Kenya has them all. Typha is the most exploitable. They are all biomass. Some of that mass is fit for human consumption, but considerable study must be done first, as they all have the habit of collecting pollutants. Only the energy market is insatiable enough to control aquatic weeds.
