The country on the right generally uses coal and gas for its heating and power, and doesn't much care for renewable energy, or so I'm told.
The country on the left generally burns wood.

Alas, with the biomass or RHI subsidies the UK could end up like the one on the left.

Another example here

maybe if clinton gave back the billions that she stole from them they afford to get the gas and electric connected?

By examining the folliage, the insect life and calculating the time of year, and then the angle of shadow from the trees, to calculate the lattitude, I've worked it out.

Well played pumphol and Sagc.

If you google "haiti dominican republic border" there are more.
Time to burn down the Houses of Parliament for firewood methinks - after all they're the ones telling us it's right.

I get the scary impression you think the one on the left is the "better" country?
But the one on the right has more trees which capture CO, recycle CO2 into 02, and better biodiversity?
Haiti is a broke country with rampant deforestation that is leading to desertification.

Basically the one on the left is the f**ked country, not the one on the right.

Haiti wasn't hard to work out, 'Haiti2013' is the name of the photo.

No no, the one on the left is the better country. CrazyCrazy

Wood is a renewable energy source don't you know as when you burn it you only return to the atmosphere the CO2 that was taken out in the first place.
The UK is subsidising this to the tune of 10.98p per kwH. You can burn wood whether you need the heating on or not and still turn a profit.
The headline place that has 'fallen' to this new practice is part of Bickerton Hill in Cheshire which was rubbish anyway. ( .http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3122851/Where-woods-gone-smoke-new-... )

Large parts of the UK's national parks also look like Haiti
