...this planet who lack improved sanitation how exactly?

What's your guess, that all these people need to do is find out about your house and they'll run down to Home Depot and buy solar cells to run their water treatment systems?

This could just be me but I have a sense that there may be just a tiny bit of bourgeois myopia here.

Do you have any insight as to why your solar house is non-trivial but how, nonetheless we almost hit 412 ppm of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in this planet's atmosphere this year?

I'm no longer stunned to see how clueless exactly the defenders of the failed scheme actually are.
