Paragraph Summaries

1. Growing electricity demand may increase pollution because many countries rely on fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and waterpower can provide cleaner electricity, but they require successful long-term development.
2. A solar energy project in rural Brazil failed to expand because it relied on foreign technology instead of developing local production skills. Short-term savings prevented local expertise from growing, making future expansion too expensive.
3. A wind energy project in India succeeded because it focused on training local workers and building local manufacturing skills. This allowed India to develop its own industry, expand renewable energy use, and attract investment.
