Comment on Solar lighting and solar power is helping third world countries by DeepField

I would like to refer to this statement:

“Just one kerosene lamp, which is the most common source of light in third world countries and developing nations, produces about one ton of carbon emissions over a seven-year period.”

First, kerosene lamps are not “the most common source of light”, although I think they are common enough. Developing nations are, well, developing, and electricity, being a century-old invention, has arrived to most countries. It may be the extremely poor people on those countries that may resort to lamps for their needs.

Second, and most important, one tone of carbon emissions in seven years, while a single car (of which you probably have two at home), small (this is for a Nissan Versa, but you can lookup yours here: http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/Index.do), produces more than 5 ton per year, roughly 35 times as much.

It is sad that many people in the world are having real hard times, but their greenhouse effect is not (or should not) be our reason to help them out.

Comment on The Solar Pool Cover Advantage by solar pool blankets

Good read! I can’t believe people pay that much in Miami…. I thought Phoenix was expensive! Solar pool covers are a pretty awesome product. They will help keep your pool warm and bills down. Plus, they help out with debris. I suggest your readers pick one up ASAP. The blue ones seem to work the best.

Thanks!

I am interested in what Steve said in Dec.29,2009 about Solar Electric Light Fund. Are they in the Philippines? I am interested in looking at the possibility of installing simple off grid household solar system in rural rural areas. I write practical articles at: http://www.justsolarhome.blogspot.com to guide and help beginners.

I’m hearing more and more about solar energy. It’s very exciting actually… and I’m beginning to see panels all over the place now.
