alt Hacker NewsIts a bit hyperbolic, but you know what I mean. Build it out very rapidly.

You can look at random cities in somewhere like Pakistan and see their rooves are covered in solar from a boom that has occurred in only the past 2-3 years. In comparison I live in a far wealthier country and people hesitate.
Pakistan had country-wide blackout in 2023 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Pakistan_blackout ) and it was part of pattern.
In such situation own supply of power is much more valuable.
And I bet that it was not government run build-out, unless you count failing to have consistently working power grid.
