cool stove, At least some areas of affrica have been stripped bare of trees as people search for fire wood. There is an interesting thoery that with technology advancing the way it is, the developing world might just be able to "skip" most of the problems we've experianced. Why build an enormous power and phone grid inother words when you can just skip to cell phones and solar? Cool thought eh?
