Prosopis juliflora, a livestock-poisoning toxic shrub, is now offering local Kenyans a clean energy source. It’s being harvested and sold as fuel for an electric power station, which has helped bring power to local villages and reduced costs. The power station pays US$0.02 per kilo for the shrub from local villagers, who earn about US$1,000 every year from the sales.
