The Missing Piece of the Clean Energy Transition | Sheila Ngozi Oparaocha | TED
The clean energy transition has a major blind spot, says energy equity expert Sheila Ngozi Oparaocha: it ignores millions of people without access to energy. Highlighting grassroots women’s organizations leading the charge towards universal access, she makes a powerful call to prioritize gender equality in energy policies — and to create a sustainable future where…

After watching the full 10 minutes. I have to say that she sounds like she is 1 or 2 steps away
from being full blown woke. I mean what’s her purpose for trying to put women against men for?
I can see through the accent for what the twisted & deranged agenda truly is here that she attempting to help & try to push through. It is the same agenda that is also trying to break up the
conventual family structure & replace it with a bunch of weak citizens that are dependent on
GOV assistance for their entire life.
With that said, I do Pray for the people here on Earth that are hopelessly struggling regarding
with having access to the basic life necessities to survive. Unfortunately though, it seems to me that this woman here, she don’t have these types of people in mind when giving these speeches.

(3:40) Male dominated…….. I’m thinking it is more dominated by the financial wealthy class.
I think that our system is set up in a way to where the people with money choose who they want to see get
the opportunity to make money instead of allowing the people a fair chance to earn the money that they
deserve. But now getting back to what Sheila Ngozi Oparaocha is saying here though.
I do think that she brings up some very important issues regarding how many people on planet Earth are being deprived of even the basic necessities to live for reasons that can’t be understood by Us the 99% due to us
either not caring or due to us not having access to the full picture that explains exactly how this is for some of
us, our unfair reality here on Earth.
I pray for the people who are suffering in the world. I pray that their life’s reality is eventually someday
fulfilled with a great level of comfort, hope, & purpose.

She’s right though. Like you’re not wrong to point out that the fundamental issue is inequality caused by a *colossal* wealth gap, one can’t simply overlook the fact that our policy makers are *overwhelmingmingly* men, or that these inequalities *clearly* affect women to a disproportionate degree.
That women’s issues are consistently overlooked and dismissed, often under the guise of a “neutral” solution is also precisely why relief efforts nominally aimed almost *always* fall short. Food relief efforts have similarly proved inadequate as most aid emphasizes raising productivity (without accounting for wealth concentration) or support to *mothers* rather than women.
It’s not enough to simply toss money at the problem, and ignoring the pov of 50% of the human population on issues that affect them is profoundly stupid.

@@DeanDangerousTDD7 I don’t see it as her trying to pit women against men. She is speaking as an African woman, I am as well, and the reality of the situation here in Africa is that this issue does affect a majority of women, especially those in rural areas. Advocating for a particular disenfranchised group does not correlate to any “twisted and deranged” agenda. Try to see things from a different perspective.

I absolutely love the idea of women taking over their own resources management. However, as hinted at here, this requires stability and peace and not least the suppression of misogynist ruling groups of men and fundamentalist religious activity which continue to prevent gender parity in work across much of the world.

I tought i had the solution for all countries to get water and cheap energy to build farms and airports to fly with electric aircrafts the harvest to the consumers destination.
But i am a men and think big to help 2.3 billion people to survive.
Finance is not the biggest part but a creative plan to execute in 5 years.
I should dig canals into Africa from Senegal coast into the Sahara.
Near the canal farms with 50-100 houses for the staff.
200 meter from the canal water well to pump up clear water for drink peoples and animals and irrigate the farm fields.
Also an innovative system to turn water into hydrogen without electrolysis and turn it into electricity.
A salt energy storage container to keep electricity always available.
This project must be structural and give peoples perpective.
Also turn the Sahara in Woods and farmland.
Only an idea….can be also done by women!
BTW i developed that water to hydrogen production system but an inventor (not company) will not be heard. Only companies and universities are heard.
Otherwise we were already digging now.

So now poverty is the mens fault? Huh. So, putting aside this reasoning, maybe we should ask WHY mostly men work in the energy sector. As someone who works in the sector I can confirm there are almost no women.
But let me list some jobs that exist (sorry for not translating it properly, I dont work in an english speaking country):
– Grid Operator, people who 24/7 coordinate the high voltage grids and try to prevent faults, solve faults and in general watch over the grid. This is a shift job.
– Power plant operator, basically the same except they also look out for the financial aspect so their powerplant only runs when it makes money.
– switcher, basically is responsible for maintaining the grid, shutting down bad parts of it, resupplying the new ones. This includes switching switches that if they fail can absolutely explode and take down the whole room with them. They work with switches that are 4m tall, 3m long and 1m wide. Those are pretty okay safe, but the responsibility and the danger IF something happens makes it hard.
– cable guys, they basically are responsible for the thousands of kilometers of cable. They can regularly fail, they have to work on lines that carry multiple thousands of volts and being stupid means death most of the time.
There are of course also jobs like planning the power grid, looking out for the safety devices and communication devices etc., but lets not forget that those 15% women also include the jobs above. I have never heard anyone in my sector say we dont want women. Women just dont apply. Even for the jobs that are more desk prone you need to go towards electrical engineering, which no women study, at my uni we had 10% women. And there were no systematic hurdles for that. Its just what women choose. Thats where you have to tackle it if you want more women in the sector, and most men in the sector would absolutely support you.
This may be different in developing countries. But it just feels weird to blame men when we want women in our sector as much as seemingly her.
