Lesotho's power grid looks like a single line...a single line that doesn't connect to many of the country's residents. How else to get them power? Maybe the sun?

    Great pod. It's inspiring to see people embracing the power of the sun instead of trying to implement non-environmentally friendly, inefficient ways of bringing electricity to the remote parts of the world.

    These kids, and local engineer's deserve an honorable mention for the nobel. I hope that they recieve all the funding they ask for.

    This is a wonderful piece that has absolutely captured my imagination. How can viewers get involved in supporting efforts like this? The technical and knowledge transfer is laudable and the science is feasible and applicable to many more of the world's poorest countries.

    This is a great pod. Raising awareness while entertaining.

    That the project itself is replicable, sponsorable, and many other things which become more possible from having more people see it, it excites me to know that platforms like Current exist to get the word out.

    The effort that these guys are putting into this project is staggering, and the things they're doing with the power of the sun is just awesome. If they could get this solar-powered device up and running throughout the country it'd be one monumental achievement for our generation.

    Thanks for putting that piece together. I've made a reference to it in The Guide To Post Peak Living (http://www.postpeakliving.com/guide-to-post-peak-living/energy) as a possible technology we can use as we work to create energy in post-peak oil world.
