Right to electricity not at the cost of damaging environment

1. 

   
   
   
   1.6 billion people — a quarter of humanity — live without electricity:
   
   
   Breaking that down further:

   Number of people living without electricity

   Region	Millions without electricity
   South Asia	706
   Sub-Saharan Africa	547
   East Asia	224
   Other	101

2. I am sure you will accept with me that they need electricity to keep their homes warm in winter and have atleast an electric fan in summer. Providing electricity is  solving half the problems they have, just imagine how much of energy is needed if we need to provide everyone electricity. And if we continue the same way we produce electricity by burning coal and diverting rivers etc we will only be disturbing the ecology and environment at alarming rates. I do understand that its a really important issue to provide every one with electricity but it also matters how we provide it without causing any harm to the environment.
   I think we can solve these problems by going green and going on massive changes in the way we produce electricity. The policy changes need to take place to make sure that having electricity is a right to everyone but not at the cost of damaging environment.
