Renewable energy: Will Africa's rivers and sun power Europe?

No more talk: Europe must act now to relieve famine in the Horn of Africa. It can start by helping to restore order in a country racked by decades of civil war. 
Pressing ahead with its worldwide expansion agenda, China is now snatching up contracts in highly-indebted Eastern Europe. Beijing is hell bent on out-leveraging the Western competition there by offering dumping prices and cheap loans. But this is not just about fat contracts, writes the Handelsblatt: the Middle Kingdom is also buying political sway.
In most languages, expressions like "Climate change", "Fair trade" and "Infant mortality", among others, have become part of everyday vocabulary. Writing in the Independent, Johann Hari argues that they hide a political agenda that shapes the way we view the world. It’s time to expunge them. 
Two massive power-generating schemes have been launched in recent weeks. One offers to create the world's largest solar farm, the other to create the biggest hydroelectric dam on the planet. While situated in Africa, they both aim to export electricity to Europe. The Independent weighs up the pros and cons of two ambitious projects, which, according to many critics, smacks of a colonial style power grab.
