A Greenpeace-funded solar energy project in India has become completely defunct just years after it was built, according to local media reports.

“When this solar farm went defunct, it was primarily because of two reasons,” said Vijay Jayaraj, an India-based researcher.

“One, is the cost of the power and the second is reliability.”

“No one uses solar power anymore here,” Ravi Kumar, a local shopkeeper, told an India-based news outlet.

Long before the interwebs I read a magazine article by a guy that had gone to a village in Africa as part of the Peace Corps in the 60s. While there he help the village build a small school house, and get a well and hand pump installed. 25 years later he takes his college grad son to show him what he did when he got out of college. The school house was a pile of rubble, and the women had to walk to the river to get water (again). He asks some of the older villagers that remembered him what happened to the school and the well. They said 'you left'.
