N2  - "Over two billion people worldwide are without access to clean, mode rn energy, which leads to drudgery, ill health and sometimes death. Alt hough a lack of adequate energy affects people's health and well-being, as well as their productive and educational capacities, addressing thi s deficit is a low priority for governments and donor agencies. The Hid den Energy Crisis outlines why we have failed so far to extend energy a ccess to the world's poor, and suggests operating models that have grea ter potential to make a difference. It argues that meeting the basic ne eds of the world's energy poor will not make a significant difference t o global carbon emissions. However, it will take substantial effort and finance from international donors, multinational and national governnm ents to scale up successful pilot projects dramatically to make a real impact on the poor."--Publisher's description
