Very, very cool stuff.

Sustainability is finally catching on in the US, and has become central to all of projects. I'm personally focussed on the food element - with plans for gardens and farmers markets now standard. Mmm...

This is exiting news, dadi. I live in the rainy PNW and it wouod be great to find a sustainable way of making solar power work. I bought some solar lights acouple of years ago. What a joke. They only work on hot days in the summer months!
