I hope they choose the technology that will lift millions of people out of crushing poverty by providing cheap, reliable energy for everyone.

some areas in many places have high cloud levels for all or part of the year. Thus they are less suitable for solar. That said, large areas of India and many coutries are suitable for solar, build it, maintain it and get 50 years out of it
