Description

Renewable energy is a most attractive option for Bangladesh where millions of people are getting out of poverty. This book explores the potential to achieve self-reliance using renewable energy technologies. It challenges accepted rationales for persisting poverty, energy crises and environmental degradation in Bangladesh, and questions the efficacy of well-meant international aid agency responses to Bangladeshi problems. The book challenges the western model of high consumption and dependence on centralised technologies arguing that a renewable energy technology system is the means to the achievement of self-reliance and a sustainable life style for village Bangladesh.
