I’m starting a “Farming & Technology” initiative in Madagascar and I tried this ToughStuff for my pilot farmers in a very remote area. They are happy with, it has costed me nuts but seems to be very helpful for these guys who have never got light and cell phones at home during their life time.
In Mada, if you need more electricity, even for your laptop f.i, you’ll have to buy a solar kit which will cost min $200. Any cheaper solution somewhere ? I’m trying to give Internet permanent access to my guys using GPRS.

I am surprised we do not hear more about Gobar (or gober) gas units which use fermenting manure (animal or human) or other natural by-products to produce methane. This can be used for cooking, lighting and limited electrical production. Its use is growing rapidly in places like India and Nepal.

That’s great. I have suspected the reason that solar is so expensive in the US is because it has been subsidized and regulated by goverment for 30 years.

gmeltdown…I have a feeling the “Ministry of Energy” helps sell more of these gadgets every time the power goes off. The Invisible Hand at work!
