    questions I'd like to ask: 1. How many Germans were actually inside using power during these 'midday' hours?  Especially as Germans are renowned for their outdoor lifestyle/culture 2. Would this still be the case if it was a sunny winter's day? 3. If it's equivalent to 20 nuclear power stations, how come only half the country could run on it?...is it because is was only for a short period of time? 4. How can other countries engender this attitude towards the use of alternative energies?

    She does not know her age because, like most women in the hills of the state of Orissa, she cannot read or write. But she can wire up and run a solar-powered 12-volt electricity system. Which - as we tell her - is more than we know how to do.
