I am very impressed with all the latest research and success in geothermal technology–tapping into the earths natural resources to heat and cool your home and even pools makes sense to me.

Hi Mark

I am a programme developer and manager in the renewable household energy sector living in The Gambia. I have been looking for date regarding death by indoor air pollution and have found your map on your blog. Could you please provide me with a link to the original location of the map – is it the UNDP or WHO? I also am interested is relevant statistics which are not easy to come by locally.

Thanks
George

I am an engineer who is interested in the EGG battery electric program, and would be able to invent possible enhancements to the operation. I am certain that a constant very small amount of power, as low as 50 watts, can eliminate much of the use of cooking wood or charcoal. RFB..

Hi all, just a quickie to comment on what a great idea this is and wishing you the very best in the project. Im an irish and married to a tanzanian and we are heading to Mvuti in a few weeks for a short visit with family and Im looking forward to checking this out. Im not sure that my father in law has made any purchases with EGG Energy yet but I sure will encourage him to do so.
This looks like such a practical and cost efficient solution for your clients.

All the very best from Ireland -

Sorry for the late reply! Right now we are bringing batteries to and from the grid. Please keep in mind though that:

1) Often our sites will be extremely close to the grid. In some cases only minutes by foot. It is not uncommon in cities in developing countries for many citizens to be without electricity even when power lines pass right above their houses.

2) Even with the cost of transport, we are still a much cheaper and cleaner alternative than the alternatives (ie kerosene).

3) We plan on creating our own, clean charging stations as soon as feasible.

Thanks for writing, and again, sorry for the delayed response!

Cheers,
Ben
