In the &quot;malice vs stupidity&quot; debate, I&#x27;ll say this is the former.<p>&gt; Kenya Power, the firm that distributes power in Kenya, is now thinking about building transformers that don’t use oil. Such transformers are not widely used and cost about half as much as ones that do use oil.<p>There&#x27;s a ray of hope, at least.
