    I find it ironic, how we are stuck in a malicious cycle - of asking questions, identifying problems, considering solutions, not doing anything worth, and asking questions about that again... and you see where I'm going. 1996, Allied Publishers released a comprehensive book dealing with woodfuel in the 'third world' under the name: Cold Hearths and Barren Slopes, The Woodfuel Crisis in the Third World. If members get hold of this book, kindly do read it.. My proposal would be to combine two ideas - one ancient and one modern: cowdung patties burning in clean burning stoves. I'm sure manure has a much lower carbon footprint than wood. It would be wonderful if rural India used a combination of solar, small hydro and cowdung fuel to survive in a world where petroleum and coal rule.
