Examples
“[Rural solar plant⟳] schemes are of little help⟳ to industry or other heavy users of electricity. Nor is solar power yet as cheap as the grid. For all that, the rapid arrival of electric light⟳ to Indian villages is long overdue. When the national grid suffers its next huge outage, as it did in July 2012 when hundreds of millions were left in the dark, look⟳ for specks of light⟳ in the villages.”
