Tu frigorífico consume más electricidad de la que utiliza un ciudadano de Etiopía
«Mi frigorífico consume 9 veces más electricidad que el consumo anual promedio de electricidad que hace un ciudadano de Etiopía».
La pobreza energética es un problema endémico; en África, casi 600 millones de personas no tienen acceso a la electricidad, lo que también significa que no disponen de calefacción ni cocina eléctrica, más seguras y saludables. Sin suministro eléctrico en los centros de salud los medicamentos no se conservan refrigerados. Tampoco hay luz para estudiar por la noche ni para sacar adelante un negocio.
[En parte de África] el consumo energético es extremadamente bajo. El gráfico compara el consumo anual promedio de electricidad que hacen los ciudadanos de diversos países africanos con el consumo anual promedio de electricidad de un frigorífico [el del autor del artículo My Fridge Versus Power Africa].

After weeks of speculation over its financial health, the beleaguered Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox has filed for bankruptcy protection. A company lawyer made the announcement at an impromptu news conference held at Tokyo District Court, according to The Wall Street Journal . Mt. Gox says it has ¥6.5 billion ($63.9 million) in liabilities at present.

The exchange went offline altogether on Monday amid reports that 744,000 bitcoins had been stolen. Authorities in the US and Japan are now looking into Mt. Gox's business, it emerged this week.
