#2 Actually building a dam across the local river for hydro power might be their best way out of this. Their generation numbers, for a population of about 170 million, are roughly like lighting Yankee Stadium with a 100-watt bulb. Allah be praised.

#8 How many Pakistani Muslims does it take to change a light bulb?
