The dirty now and clean up later approach to the environment has a strong appeal, particularly because it is often thought of as the last place to try to edge in another priority - especially if that priority is perceived by many to be an economic luxury. \n\nAsuelime and Okem bring together a team of specialist contributors who investigate to what extent sub-Saharan Africa has displayed foresight or politico-economic integrity. The book shows the states ability to meet the demands of provision of energy in sub-Saharan Africa has led to heavy investments in infrastructure, transmission.
