The challenges he has faced are very instructive. If Nic is working in Chile I would think some of the concerns would be the same. "Fabio's pilot project from 1984 to 1988 changed that situation for 400 rural families in Palmares and reaped results beyond his expectations. Not only did low-cost electrification stop the flow of residents to cities, it reversed the flow. A study two years after the project's implementation showed that one in every three beneficiaries was someone who returned from the city to resume living in his former rural area. This was in large part because of the newly affordable electric service." - from http://www.ashoka.org/node/3291 PS I too like your blog.

Adding you to my RSS feeds right now. I seem to have developed a bad habit of being out of town during Green Drinks, the last two months I was and I'll miss it again this month - maybe we can connect at the next one. Cheers, Nic Morgan.
