I must admit I went straight to Amazon and ordered the book he just wrote- "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope". I'll let you know how it is once I read it! Amazing the things we can do if we put our minds to it.

Wind power strikes again!
I was watching an episode of The Daily Show and Jon Stewart was interviewing a charming guy by the name of William Kamkwamba, who built a windmill outside his house in Malawi out of old motor parts, PVC pipe, and a worn out bike wheel. The real kicker- he was 14. People thought he was CRAZY! You can watch the interview here. Click on the video "William Kamkwamba".

Very cool. Maybe we need one up on our ridge in VT? Take notes, OK?
