Oh ok, haven't done much on that, what case studies would you use for it?

I don't think it'll be a straight up 15 marker - i think its more likely to be a 10 marker.

•

50% of Indians don’t have proper shelter;

•

70% don’t have access to decent toilets (which inspires a multitude of bacteria to host their own disease party);

•

35% of households don’t have a nearby water source;

•

85% of villages don’t have a secondary school (how can this be the same government claiming 9% annual growth?);

•

Over 40% of these same villages don’t have proper roads connecting them.

yeah thats right

I was just reading an examiner report and it said that the UK imports most of its gas from Qatar and Norway, it is still affected by Russia, but not the extent that everyone assumes.

Cancelled in Blackpool due to 2 minor earthquakes caused by it.

how would you talk about access? Apart from physical, political, economic?

that would be it - physical (location, availability, local variations), economic - (technology required to drill and extract not available everywhere - LDCs rely on TNCs to extract the natural resources - LDCs don't have funds for renewable technologies - Political - NIMBY, Anti-nuclear - Example Italy voted against nuclear energy - restricts access
