Excellent reasons why Kenya should invest in renewable energy

The plummeting oil prices in the recent past has had the world in general looking at renewable sources of energy not only as an alternative source of energy but as the future main source of energy for nations.

Africa and Kenya in particular should intentionally choose to focus on renewable energy to honor their COP 21 Paris agreement of 2015. Fossil fuels which include oil and natural gas have been the main contributors to the greenhouse gas emission that can lead to catastrophic changes in the earth’s climate. The effects of climate change are already being felt all over the world in form of heat waves with 2015 being named the hottest year in history and the same effect being felt in 2016.
