Wind Power in Africa

I’ve been aware of this blog for a while now, and I’m surprised it’s not really been picked up by the regular media yet. Anyway, without further ado, introducing Mr. William Kamkwamba:

He’s a student in Malawi. He’s also a bit of an engineer, and he’s built himself an enormous windmill to provide power for his family.

It’s a great blog about wind power in the developing world. It is also a fantastic example of sustainable technology and it’s a great story too.

I’ve already bought the film rights, and I’ll be releasing my movie, “William and the Windmill” in Summer 2008. So back off, Mr Peter Jackson.
