Smart Power

When looking at developing countries and the myriad of issues that face them, it often becomes a daunting task coming up with ways to benefit those in need. Many however have lived up to the task and have found the little things that make a big difference. The latest in this is a new combination of older technologies that create an inexpensive and environmentally friendlier way of bringing light where there was once darkness.

A new craze that has engulfed our nation over the last few years has been the development and purchasing of hybrid vehicles. Cars such as the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight have raised many questions as to why we still have vehicles on the road that average less that 15 miles per gallon while the Prius and Insight are able to reach over 50. Such conversations have stirred such debate and have contributed to the research, funding and development of other vehicle types including purely electric vehicles.
