Technical Project: Challenge II

by Sakhile Masuku on Monday, Feb 28th, 2011

Many low income households in Africa have no access to an electricity connection.  Even if a connection can be sourced, the households can barely afford to pay for the use of the electricity. In light of this, please suggest an alternative energy source that can be used for cooking and heating purposes. Justify your answer by outlining in detail the advantages and disadvantages of your selection.
