Third World Countries and Renewable Energy
As developed countries rush to make use of renewable energy more common and widespread, third world or developing nations are also not being left behind. Such countries are now acknowledging the fact that there is indeed, a need to address the prevailing energy problems.
As costs of conventional energies continue to rise and as operating costs of other energy generation processes become more difficult due to environmental changes, third world countries are capitalizing on renewable energy generation.
Economists and energy researchers in such nations are working together to bring about and identify the best options for the initiatives.
Such developing countries are succeeding in making its initiatives truly effective. Now, such countries are also boasting about their respective research initiatives that have the potential to contribute to the global research about finding the best renewable energy sources to offset the problem of problematic energy sources.
In a span of a few years, it is expected that both third world and developed countries would both take advantage of breakthrough technologies in renewable energy generation.
Third world countries have the potential to do better at producing renewable energies because fortunately, such nations are geographically blessed by nature.

Think Solar Energy
I can imagine that new energy generation sources, particularly solar and possibly wind will take hold pretty well in third world countries. It is the best way for them to leap frog their societies from being impoverished in less than a generation.
While in the western countries the hydropower potential has been nearly fully exploited in the third world countries there is still much to do. I work as a hydropower engineer in Africa ( http://www.pietrangeli.it/hydropower.htm ) and we are very happy to help these countries to develop their potential and particularly to become energy producers instead of having to spend their money for buying oil.
