The math is a bit weird: currently they have 3GW for 700 thousand households and 100GW should somehow serve 100 millions. Anyway great news, hopefully it inspires more countries to do similar projects
For context, I live in Hong Kong where most people drink tap water after boiling first. Some may install water filter but may still boil the water. Very few drink bottle water unless they’re outside and too lazy to bring their own bottles....
In France tap water is drinkable and good almost anywhere, the exceptions being in some cities during drought or due to unusual pollution. I actually dislike most mineral bottled water because I find it tastes like something.
I used to live in Thailand, while the authorities say the water is good you’ll likely get sick if you drink water straight from the tap. I used to buy my water from a filtering machine near my condo.
Living in different countries made me realize how little people usually know about others. I like to remind people that calling things “strange”, “weird” or saying “Nobody would do xyz” is often wrong and people just a flight away actually find this normal
Still in that country I worked for a company made of 100% foreigners. When I joined the boss took me under his wing and try teaching me the ways in this country and how to get sh*t done. It took a disagreement on product roadmap for me to realize that he was not technically good, he was actually racist and I definitely didn’t want him as a role model. Now I’m extra careful on seeing the signs early
It’s complicated (i.imgur.com)
China is building a 100GW renewable capacity project by the Yalong river. This will power 100 million households, the equivalent of the entire US population. (www.scmp.com)
People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

What "little" experiences changed the way you percieved things ?
Idk if "little experience" means something in English, but what I meant is non-life changing/threatening. Things that would otherwise go unnoticed....
