"We are not saying no gas," Kerry said. "What we are saying is, over the next few years, gas replaces coal or replaces oil."
His comments tapped into a fundamental problem for Senegal and other energy impoverished nations in Africa. According to the International Energy Agency, more than 600 million people – nearly half of Africa’s population – lack electricity.
