India is now generating more than 5 gigawatts of solar power: roughly 90% of that total is from solar power plants, with the other 10% coming from privately mounted rooftop panels. The momentum is likely to build further, with Vinay Rustagi - Managing Director of solar consultancy company Bridge to India - totting up the energy outputs of solar projects presently at various stages of commission at 15.7 GW. Ambitiously, India's central government wants a total of 100 gigawatts of solar generation by 2022, while as of July 2015 the entirety of India's power generation amounts to about 276 gigawatts.

Funny, because I didn't mention anything about democracy, the Cold War, or the completely irrelevant classification of countries into a hierarchy as first, second, or third. In fact I specifically indicated that every nation has its pros and cons. While the US commits acts of barbarism around the globe that would classify it as third world, it also is responsible for a lot of what the rest of the world enjoys today; a "First world" level of contribution, if you will. I was merely entertaining your notion - which was so foolish I mistook it as jest - that generation of electricity is the only metric by which a society should be considered "First Class."
You're a joke. Feel free to take the closing word.
