Portable Solar Powered Generators

Green Daily has this superb piece about a product that deserves to sell a heck of a lot more than it is at the moment - I remember the filthy air in Chennai, India, when power would go off and people would end up using Honda or other solar gasoline or kerosene generators. Now, you can use the Solar Stick - just plant it outdoors: http://www.greendaily.com/2008/09/19/solar-stik-stick-it-to-those-gas-powered-generators/

The drawback is that these things are expensive but consider that you would never have to use any fuel in them and the price suddenly seems very attractive, indeed. In countries like India where you can write off 100% of the value of the unit as depreciation, it would be a superb product indeed!
