@brichapman@mastodon.socialUkraine's energy revolution is being powered by women leaders and local communities. Through initiatives like 100 Solar Schools and 50 Solar Hospitals, the country is building resilience with decentralized renewable systems—solar panels and batteries that keep critical infrastructure running even during conflict. This shift toward energy independence shows how sustainable power can be a security strategy.
