Poor Access on Electricity in West Papua

A very nice information from Charles Roring should be read by Indonesian federal government and Papuan local government. Electricity is vital in the process of development in an area, the difficulties in accessing electricity will let West Papuan left behind the process of human resource development.

Charles Roring calculation on the potential energy and the amount of electricity which can be generated from the waterfall in a small village is a very-very important information.

I think it is time for all Papuan to work together to push Papuan local government and Indonesian federal government to generate electricity for us.

We need electricity ! Free Papua from poor access on electricity !
